A two-metre crocodile that has taken up residence on a north Queensland golf course has given new meaning to the term "water hazard".

The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) is planning to remove what is believed to be a freshwater crocodile found swimming in a water hazard at the Willows golf course Thuringowa, outside Townsville.

Regional director Clive Cook says golfers should be cautious.

"If it's a fresh water crocodile they're obviously not quite as dangerous as a salt water, but still with that sort of size it's not something you want to leave in a water hazard on the golf course," he said.

"It might compound the hazard nature of golf." ABC Queensland

Hi there
Alan and I bought a toy croc from Ikea yesterday. It's quite tame and lies in wait for the jack russells when they rush into the lounge.

How big is it? Big enough to trip over?
