Fatal Encounter: Man Attacked by 40 Crocodiles in Cambodia

A 72-year-old Cambodian man was killed by about 40 crocodiles on his family's reptile farm in Siem Reap after he fell into their enclosure while trying to move a crocodile out of a cage where it had laid eggs. The man's body was torn to pieces and covered with bite marks. The victim was the president of the local crocodile farmers' association, and his family may now sell his stock. This marks at least the second person killed by a crocodile this month.

Fatal Crocodile Attack in Cambodian Enclosure.

A man in Cambodia was killed and ripped apart by 40 crocodiles after he fell into their enclosure on a reptile farm. The victim, who owned the farm, was trying to transport a crocodile out of a cage when the creature grabbed him with its jaws and pulled him into a pool containing dozens of other crocodiles. Crocodile attacks on humans are incredibly rare, and the species do not usually eat humans, although they can become agitated when provoked or threatened.
