In Australia, a debate is raging on whether crocodiles should be better managed in areas where both human and crocodile populations are expanding.

The Northern Territory coroner in the city of Darwin is due to begin an inquest into the death of 11-year-old Briony Goodsell, who was taken by a crocodile just over a year ago.

Arguments have now sprung up over whether more needs to be done to protect the public from the animals, which were on the brink of extinction before hunting was outlawed in 1971.

It has now estimated there are more than 100,000 wild saltwater crocodiles in the Northern Territory, with people in the area coming into more regular contact.

Some of the crocodiles have even been seen in Darwin harbour and other freshwater areas near the city.

After Briony Goodsell's death the Northern Territory Government resisted calls for a crocodile cull and instead expanded the area around Darwin where saltwater crocodiles could be trapped before being released into less populated areas.
