科学 · 罗克汉普顿鳄鱼罗克汉普顿鳄鱼警告令野生动物应对和奥运会筹备受到审视文字 2026年11月2日 UTC 03:45观看文字实录0:07A saltwater crocodile appeared near a golf club's eleventh hole.0:10The club is a few kilometers from the river precinct planned for Olympic rowing and0:13canoe sprint in two thousand and thirty.0:15Two golfers have received a warning, and wildlife authorities are investigating.0:19They now have to determine whether the animal poses a risk and should be removed.0:23North Rockhampton Golf Club alerted members over the weekend.0:26The crocodile was spotted near the eleventh hole, within a few kilometers of the0:30proposed Fitzroy River competition precinct.0:32That places the warning close to a major games project.0:35Queensland's Environment Department said on Monday, November2, that the sighting0:39hadn't been reported to it and was now under investigation.0:41A warning among club members can circulate before anyone formally contacts wildlife0:45officers.0:46Prompt reporting gives those officers a better chance of finding an animal that can0:50move considerable distances.0:51Reptile expert John Laver estimated the crocodile was up to three meters long from a0:55photograph.0:56Laver owns Corona Crocodile Farm near Rockhampton.0:59He also thought the animal was likely male.1:01Both judgments came from his assessment of the image.1:04Lever expects rangers to assess the animal's behavior before deciding on removal.1:08Queensland's rules allow a sighting report to lead to an animal being declared a1:11problem crocodile.1:12The area has been described as outside category A, where crocodiles are1:16automatically targeted for removal.1:18Lever wants a stronger approach around the planned Games venue.1:21Lever says any crocodile seen around the planned Olympic venue should be removed.1:25He immediately adds, But that's not up to me to do that.1:28It's up to the government.1:30His preference leaves the decision with wildlife authorities.1:33The council identifies the Fitzroy Rivers Barrage impoundment as a targeted1:37management area for large resident crocodiles.1:39The golf club sighting's precise position within those boundaries isn't clear.1:43Lever also suggests the previous week's rain may have encouraged movement.1:47While mating season brings males and females searching for mates, those are possible1:51explanations for this animal's activity.1:53Crocodiles can travel hundreds of kilometers through water.1:55They're especially mobile after heavy rain and floods.1:58The Fitzroy also has a long rowing history, hosting state and national regattas and2:02Australian teams preparing for the Olympics.2:04Earlier warnings show why this latest sighting has drawn attention.2:07Two sightings in December2020.2:10Four involved animals about two and a half meters and one meter long.2:13Another was recorded upstream from the rowing course on September19 this year,2:17followed by two more closer to the proposed venue.2:19Separate sightings don't tell us how many crocodiles are there now.2:22Premier David Chrissafuli defended Rockhampton's ability to host the events.2:26Rowing Australia Life member Ray Ebert reconsidered his earlier confidence about2:30crocodiles.2:31Opposition leader Steven Miles renewed his call for the technical assessment and an2:34explanation of games crocodile risk management.2:37Chrisafoli pointed to decades of success, calling the venue world class.2:41Ebert said he'd previously considered crocodiles the least of the problems, but2:44added, Maybe I was wrong.2:46He said, It's not the crocodiles that you can see that I would be worried about.2:50It's the ones that I can't see.2:51Those judgments sit alongside an unresolved approval dispute.2:55The government announced Federation endorsement on September17 th, but on October282:59, World Rowing President Jean Christophe Roland said, At present, it is not3:04approved.3:04His outstanding questions concerned floods.3:06The Start Tower and Spectator Access.3:09The independent assessment involved the Games Infrastructure Authority and3:12Waterproof Marine Consultancy and Services.3:13It found the course met International Federation technical requirements.3:17Chrisafuli called that passing with flying colors.3:20His joint announcement with Deputy Premier Jarod Bleiji named World Rowing and3:24Paddle Worldwide as endorsing rowing, power rowing, canoe sprint, and paracanoe3:29events.3:29Roland's later statement leaves final approval unsettled, with further planning3:33needed for competition facilities and services.3:35His objections concern those planning questions.3:37For this crocodile, the department hasn't announced a completed ranger assessment or3:41a removal decision.3:42The immediate outcome depends on what officers find about its location and behavior.3:46Queensland accepts sightings through the Q Wildlife app, its online reporting form3:50or one thousand three hundred one hundred thirty three hundred seventy two
