Show Notes
Old Faithful, an eighty-year-old saltwater crocodile, was relocated from Far North Queensland to Australia Zoo, sparking controversy. Traditional owners, led by Alwyn Lyall, feel betrayed as they were excluded from decisions about their cultural totem. Lawyers are considering a formal complaint over lack of consultation. The fate of Old Faithful remains uncertain, with concerns about its wellbeing and the validity of claims linking it to aggressive behavior. Traditional owners advocate for a ranger-led authority to manage crocodiles, but their concerns are being overlooked.
