A FEMALE ranger has been taken by a crocodile infront of horrified onlookers in a remote region of the Northern Territory.
The woman was attacked while on the job at 10am today near the community of Gangan, about 206km south west of Yirrkala in Arnhem Land. She has not been seen since. News.com.au understands police are enroute via dirt roads and boat to the area but were at least a few hours away mid-afternoon Friday.
The Laynhapuy Homelands Aboriginal Corporation, which runs the Yirralka Rangers program, first reported the attack to authorities, and has since closed its office.
