Prince Harry, crocodile hunter was the royal prince's latest stint in his tour in the Northern Territory. He made a lasting impression to the Wildlife rangers, who were with him when he caught a 3.1m (10ft) crocodile. The crocodile rangers praised the 30-year-old prince as "a great croc catcher."
Prince Harry crocodile measures 10 feet long, and was dragged from Australia's Darwin Harbor. Prince Harry was in Australia as part of his training with the Australian Army. As soon as Prince Harry pulled the croc, he posed for a photo with the reptile's mouth taped shut.
"He'd make a great croc catcher. He responded to directions when catching the croc, helped pull it into the boat, and did a great job," Wildlife ranger Erin Britton said. "I wasn't sure what to expect at first because you don't meet royalty every day, but I found him very approachable and easy to chat with."
The Crocodile Management Team had great time with Prince Harry. Crocodile rangers are taking the crocs away from the waterways to lessen incidents of injuries and casualties, the BBC reported.
About 200 crocodiles are being removed in the Northern Territory every year. The Australia's Parks and Wildlife Commission revealed that the reptiles are being brought to the crocodile farm or will be killed.
According to the Crocodile Management Team, Prince Harry crocodile experience was so memorable. Senior wildlife ranger and veteran croc catcher Tommy Nichols revealed that the prince was very accommodating, cheerful and friendly despite that he's a prince, ABC reported.
Before the day ended, Prince Harry posed for pictures with the Crocodile Management Team composing of Nichols, Britton, and rangers Stewie Woerle and Luke McLaren.
Prince Harry crocodile mission was indeed successful. The Northern Territory Parks and Wildlife reported Prince Harry crocodile experience more at their official Facebook page.
