A large crocodile was captured in Australia after it \u201clunged\u201d at a resident and behaved \u201caggressively,\u201d according to wildlife officials. A video shows the dangerous reptile.<\/p>\n

The resident of a houseboat in Cardwell reported the large crocodile<\/a> to wildlife officials in April after the animal \u201clunged\u201d at them, the Queensland Department of Environment, Science and Innovation said in a May 14 news release.<\/p>\n

The roughly 13-foot-long crocodile \u201cwas also reported to have taken a dog\u201d and was generally \u201cbehaving aggressively around boats,\u201d officials said.<\/p>\n

Wildlife officials decided to remove the dangerous animal from the area and set up a baited trap, the department said. The trap, however, initially captured a different 10-foot-long crocodile. Officials removed the smaller crocodile and tried again.<\/p>\n

This time, the plan worked, the department said. Officials captured the 13-foot-long crocodile May 13.<\/p>\n
