(Jakarta, 1st) – A shocking incident in Indonesia's North Kalimantan province has drawn local attention after days of heavy rain caused river levels to surge. A woman, eight months pregnant, was attacked by a crocodile and dragged into the water while cooking in her kitchen. She did not survive.

According to the Daily Mail, 28-year-old pregnant woman Munira lived in a stilt house. Due to continuous rainfall, the nearby Membuluh River overflowed, flooding her home. While she was preparing lunch in her flooded kitchen, a crocodile suddenly entered, bit her leg, and began rolling violently.

Her younger sister, Annamaria, heard Munira’s painful screams. When she arrived, she saw her sister being attacked by the crocodile, clinging desperately to a tree branch in an attempt to survive. Annamaria rushed to find a weapon to fight off the crocodile, but by the time she returned, her sister had already been dragged into the water.

Villagers immediately launched a search and rescue operation along the Membuluh River. Armed with hunting rifles, they tried to scare the crocodile away. Although they hit it, the crocodile disappeared into the water. Munira’s body resurfaced about half an hour later, but she was clearly already deceased.

Local police confirmed that she drowned as a result of the crocodile attack. Being eight months pregnant, she was unable to resist.

Indonesia is home to 14 species of crocodiles. Since 1999, saltwater crocodiles have been classified as a protected species, making it illegal to hunt or kill them.

Experts note that overfishing, land development, and tin mining have destroyed crocodile habitats. Frequent flooding has also pushed crocodiles closer to human settlements.

Statistics show that in 2023, Indonesia reported 179 crocodile attacks, with 92 fatalities — the highest number in the world. As a result, both residents and experts are calling on the government to take action.

Inside the mouth like no hole

Start culling the reptiles to trim down their population

modern dinosaur

Got, they can close it at will.

Super predator

i thought crocodile only eat benda mati sahaja?

why attacked and then no makan?

reflex.. to prevent excessive water flow into go into their stomach

when they are hungry.. anything is food

they attack, left the things to rot, then makan. because they can't chew...

oh macam ini.

kesian, just korban like this way.

RIP

Lucky no masuk wrong kitchen

RIP
