THE world's crocodile attack capital is dealing with a infestation of violent, big toothed monsters who have killed hundreds of people.<\/p>\n

Innocent residents have been eaten alive by the ferocious saltwater crocodiles – some of which can reach a terrifying 26 feet – as officials struggle to address the dangerous situation.<\/p>\n

The massive crocs which terrorise Indonesia have a bite force of 3,700 pounds per square inch – and can easily tear off limbs.<\/p>\n

More than 1,000 people have been attacked by the beasts in the last decade, with 450 being killed.<\/p>\n

Last year, a teenage boy was beheaded and torn apart while fishing with his pals at a lake in the country.<\/p>\n

Farjan Idham's body was recovered days later – after the bloodthirsty crocs patrolled his mutilated corpse, blocking rescuers from retrieving the lad.<\/p>\n

In many instances, people have been swallowed whole by the crocs, sentencing them to a slow and painful death.<\/p>\n

An eight-year-old boy's body was cut out of one of the 26ft-long beasts' stomach after the animal swallowed the child whole in front of his dad.<\/p>\n

Dimas Saputra was dragged into murky water as his dad frantically swam after the huge reptile, say reports.<\/p>\n

Another 16.5ft long beast pounced on Devi Binti Sulaiman, 17, while she was cooling off with friends near the Sebamban River in South Kalimantan, Indonesia<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The croc – who had no teeth – was still able to swallow the girl whole with its massive jaws.<\/p>\n

And one\u00a0crocodile killed a young girl in front of her horrified friends\u00a0while she was out swimming.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the teen and her friends were washing their clothes in the river before diving in the water to play.<\/p>\n

Her pals then watched helplessly and rushed to call their parents for help as Maria disappeared underwater.<\/p>\n

The ravenous reptiles have posed a big problem for Indonesian authorities, who can't legally cull the beasts, as they're protected.<\/p>\n

But the laws don't stop furious locals from killing the beasts in revenge for slaughtering their family and friends.<\/p>\n

In 2018, a crocodile killed an Indonesian man so his village slaughtered 300 of the predators in a bloody revenge.<\/p>\n

And one croc, nicknamed "The Demon" due to its stunning 4.5metre body weighing 2,000 pounds was beheaded after terrorising locals for half a century.<\/p>\n

The giant croc died from exhaustion after getting tangled in nets laced with razor-sharp blades.<\/p>\n

Locals buried the head and body separately because they believe this stops the "demon" animal returning to "haunt" them.<\/p>\n

Despite successful past killings of the reptiles, they're difficult to catch – their massive size and speeds both in water and on land make them a fierce opponent.<\/p>\n

Male saltwater crocs can weigh up to 2,000 pounds, while females weigh in around 300.<\/p>\n

They're the biggest reptiles in the world, have nearly 70 razor sharp teeth and can live up to 70 years.<\/p>\n

And they can reach speeds of up to 6 miles per hour in the water and some have been documented reaching speeds of 12 miles per hour on land.<\/p>\n

Even more terrifying, if the beasts lose a tooth while chomping down on their prey, they can simply grow a new one.<\/p>\n

Despite ritualistic killings of the beasts after they attack innocent humans, they remain a massive issue for Indonesia<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The question of why the beasts attack in Indonesia remains for those who live in fear of the terrifying animals<\/span>.<\/p>\n

After hunting the animals was banned in the 1970s, their population has recovered well – which may contribute to the higher levels of attacks.<\/p>\n

And the areas where attacks are happening are populated by fishermen – some think that the crocs are being forced inland to avoid being fished in the seas.<\/p>\n

Mining<\/span> on some Indonesian islands may also contribute to the attacks, as the crocs are living in mining<\/span> pits near people's homes, according to the BBC.<\/p>\n

Abandoned mining pits are often flooded with water, and many families use it as a water source.<\/p>\n

Local girl Sariah was attacked while fetching water in a nearby pit to her home – unaware a croc was lurking nearby.<\/p>\n

She said her experience will haunt her forever: "Sometimes when I sleep<\/span>, the attack comes back to me in my dreams."<\/p>\n

Authorities recommend staying away from areas where the beasts may lurk – like mining pits and the shorelines at night.<\/p>\n

Yet the government is still scrambling to save lives and prevent further tragedies from occurring, as the crocs continue their reign of terror in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
