A young man has been bitten by a crocodile at a wildlife sanctuary in Queensland.
The man, aged in his mid-20s, was bitten on his right hand on Monday afternoon while he was working at Billabong Sanctuary in Townsville.
He was attacked by a young crocodile.
Queensland Ambulance Service acting senior operations supervisor David Cole said the man injured a finger.
Mr Cole said the worker was in a significant pain and was well looked after by colleagues as they waited for emergency services.
The man was transported to Townsville University Hospital where he remains in a stable condition.
"He's going to have a great story to tell his friends in the years to come," Mr Cole said.
