Bosses had hoped that locals would visit to give donations to the crocodile, but have surrendered the crocodile to be released by qualified wildlife workers.
The local fire department chief Hasanuddin said the croc was caught in a flooded residential area on February 12 before being kept at the Cimory tourist attraction, which also includes mini-windmills, dairy animals and farming exhibitions.
Believing the croc was docile, the elderly man reached out to offer some food - only for the predator to viciously latch onto his arm and yank him into the water.
Firefighters later arrived to take the grandfather to a hospital with a severely injured arm in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, on February 17 evening.
Things took a turn when an elderly man reached out to offer food to the predator when I latched onto his arm and pulled him into the waters below.
