On Saturday, Muhammad Syahputra Almanda was having fun with his pals in a field close to their Jambi hamlet.
He had pursued the ball into a nearby river, but when he knelt down to pick it up, a massive 13-foot crocodile grabbed it.
The ball was tossed into the lake after he begged his buddy to do so. According to the authorities, he dove in but did not come up again. “Shortly after, witnesses saw him in a crocodile’s jaws.”
