A Cambodian man had died after he was eaten alive by his 40 crocodiles.
Police said that the 72-year-old man was mauled after he accidentally tripped and fell inside an enclosure where the crocodiles were being bred.
The enclosure belonged to the man’s family – AFP reported.
Reports indicate that the man was trying to move a laying crocodile with a stick when he accidentally fell inside the closure.
The crocodiles showed the man who had fed them for years no mercy as they competed to devour him.
The police said that a crocodile giant crocodile pulled the old man into the cage by biting one end of the stick – and jerking it forcefully.
“As he was chasing a crocodile out of an egg-laying cage, the crocodile attacked the stick, causing him to fall into the enclosure,” Police chief Mey Savry told AFP.
“Then other crocodiles pounced, attacking him until he was dead,” he said.
Most families in the region rare crocodiles for their eggs, skin and meat.
