A white crocodile has been spotted on the muddy banks of a creek in northern Australia, sparking speculation as to whether it's an albino, or just covered in mud. Sisters Gwen Deller and Laveen Boah were fishing two weeks ago when they spotted the reptile, about 4.5 meters long, on the banks of a creek in Mackay, Queensland. "It was pure white and he was a big fella," Deller, 60, told reporters yesterday. "My sister looked across to the other bank and there he was up in the mud, he was just lying there in the sun. It's the first time I've ever seen a white one."
