For several days after that, people coordinated with local police to ambush the animal. Then, they caught a crocodile 4.9m long and another smaller one about 4m long. They were forced to vomit to check if there were traces of the ill-fated fisherman in their stomachs. But the result was nothing.

The head of the Tarakan rescue agency Dede Hariana said that crocodile attacks on people are increasing in the area, especially in riverside villages.

Local officials have repeatedly warned residents and visitors to be careful when going to wetland areas. The fact that people still bathe and catch fish and shrimp by hand in the river easily becomes the target of this dangerous animal.

It is known that the majority of crocodile attacks on humans in the world occur in Africa, Southeast Asia and Australia. Many attacks go unreported because locals are afraid to report them to the authorities. In Australia, it is estimated that there are several fatal crocodile attacks each year.
