Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua kōrero mai tētahi tangata o Kuinihana mō tētahi whanaungatanga tino motuhake i waenganui i a ia me tana hoa pai - he ngārara ko 'Gregory' te ingoa. Ko Mick Tabone, 74, nāna i whakahaere te Johnstone River Crocodile Farm me te whare kararehe i te raki o Kuinihana, i tūtaki tuatahi ia ki te 5.2 mita i te tau 1989. E rua tekau tau e noho ana te kaiahuwhenua i runga i te tuara o te mea nui i a ia e kōrerorero ana ki a ia, ā, kāore rawa ia i te whakaaro he mōrearea ia. Kua ngana kē ngā Rangers ki te hopu i a Gregory, i te mea e patua ana e ia ngā kau i te Eubenangee Swamp e tata ana ki Mirriwinni, 70 kiromita ki te tonga o Cairns mō ngā tau, i te wā i tonoa ai e rātou te āwhina a Mr Tabone. He hononga pakari a Mick Tabone rāua ko Gregory the crocodile i a rāua e 20 tau e noho hoa ana. 'I rere ia mō te rua tau, he tamaiti hara ia, ā, e mau ana i ngā kau,' i kī a Mr Tabone ki Daily Mail Australia. 'I haere mai nga kau ki raro ki reira ki te inu wai, ā, ka hopu a Gregory i a rātau i te ihu, ka whakamakuku i a rātau,' ka mea ia. Ka noho a Mr Tabone i ngā marama e ono e whai ake nei ki te whakatakoto i ngā rore mō te mea nui, hei whakamātau whakamutunga ki te whakaora i a ia i muri i te whakaaetanga kia patua te ngārara. 'I whai rātau i tētahi rore mō ētahi tau, engari kāore ia i haere ki roto, ā, i muri i tētahi wā, e mōhio ana koe, he rohe kei runga i te nui o te wā e taea ana e koe te whakapau i runga i tēnei,' i mea ia. 'I tukuna e rātau (National Parks) he mana ki te kaiahuwhenua kia pupuhi ia ia.' Ko te kaiahuwhenua nana te whenua i hopu ai a Gregory i te kau i karanga ki te awhina o Mr Tabone, a, i awhinahia e etahi 'rawe o te rangi', i taea e ratou te hopu i te reptile. He ua nui te tikanga i nekehia ai te mahanga i whakaturia, a, ka haere nga kukupa ki te whai i te momi, ka whai a Gregory. I hopukina a Gregory i te tau 1989 i muri i tana tahae i te kau a tētahi kaiahuwhenua. 'E toru wiki i muri mai, kua heke te wai ki te hohonu o te waewae, ka titiro au ki roto i te wai pouri, ka mea ahau kei reira tenei kararehe nui nui i roto i reira,' i whakaatu a Mr Tabone. 'Ka mea ahau kua mahi ahau i te mea tino whakamataku o toku ora, kua patua e ahau tenei kararehe nui.'...
