Kendrapada (Orissa), Dec 2 - A crocodile has killed a 25-year-old man in an Orissa national park, the victim's father said Sunday.

Sukumar Giri, a resident of Vekta village in the Bhitarkanika national park area here, was fishing at a river Saturday when the crocodile snapped him, father Kalipada Giri told IANS.

Bhitarkanika is home of about 1,500 salt-water crocodiles and reptiles. Crocodiles in the park have killed at least 20 people and injured 40 in the past two years.
