The owners of a crocodile farm in Queensland, Australia remain puzzled after finding a metal bone plate and six screws in the stomach of one of their saltwater crocodiles.
The 15.4 foot crocodile, called M.J., died recently at approximately 60 years old and the farm found the plate as they performed an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
It could have belonged to a person or an animal, the owner and general manager of the farm, John Lever, said in an interview with Win News Central Queensland. The owners have contacted local police to help them solve the mystery. “I’ve never seen anything like this before,” said the crocodile hunter, “and I’d just love to find out where it came from.”
This helps answer social media users’ number one question -– if it was a medical device, why was there was no serial number on it? Unfortunately, stomach acid has corroded it away.
