A 12-year-old boy is missing after being snatched by a crocodile in a remote part of the Australian Outback, authorities said Monday.
Police officers and park rangers have been using helicopters and boats to search an area around Mudginberri in the Northern Territory's Kakadu National Park since Sunday afternoon, when a saltwater crocodile attacked a group of five children swimming in a water hole, police sergeant Stephen Constable told CNN Monday.

This is the part that gets me:
Authorities have issued shoot-to-kill orders for crocodiles longer than two meters which are spotted in the area.
Two crocodiles, 4.3 and 4.7 meters in length, were killed and cut open overnight, but their stomachs did not contain any human remains.
According to local media reports, people had been warned against swimming in the area after a teenager survived an attack by a five-meter-long crocodile in the region in January last year.
Really? You go into its environment and get munched and you're going to shoot them up for acting the way nature intended? Disgusting!
