You may have heard about a crocodile named Old Faithful, who featured along Steve Irwin in Queensland.
Old Faithful was living in Far North Queensland at the Rinyirru Lakefield National Park, but was relocated to Australia Zoo.
Traditional owners are outraged Old Faithful – who is considered a family member – was taken nearly 2000 kilometres away from home, and fearing his health might deteriorate.
