Wildlife rangers have humanely euthanised a large crocodile near Mareeba on Tuesday 10 June, following a crocodile sighting report on 6 June 2025.
A site investigation by wildlife rangers on the weekend confirmed the presence of the crocodile, in a farm drain near Two Mile Creek at Biboohra, north of Mareeba.
Director Northern Wildlife Operations at DETSI, Lindsay Delzoppo said rangers had located the crocodile on the property after multiple reports from the community.
"By removing the crocodile, we have prioritised community safety, and we thank the people who submitted crocodile sighting reports last Friday.
"We encourage anyone who sees what they believe to be a crocodile to report it to the department in a timely manner, all reports will be investigated."
Crocodile sightings can be reported by using the QWildlife app, completing a crocodile sighting report on the DETSI website, or by calling 1300 130 372. The department investigates every crocodile sighting report received.
Under the Queensland Crocodile Management Plan, the Two Mile Creek area at Biboohra is in Zone F (Atypical Habitat Zone). In Zone F, any crocodile confirmed to be present is targeted for removal from the wild, regardless of its size or behaviour.
