The incident comes weeks after an eight-year-old girl was attacked by goanna at South Stradbroke Island, north of the Gold Coast, on Thursday 24 January. The metre-long reptile latched onto the girl's foot during the attack at a beach side camp, resulting in a serious laceration and hospitalisation. Queensland Ambulance's Jayney Shearman told reporters that the girl was 'quite distressed' following the attack. '(It) was quite difficult to get the goanna off the child and it needed a couple of people to get involved,' she said. Queensland Ambulance tweeted about the incident on Wednesday morning (pictured) The pair were transported to Esk Hospital in stable conditions, Queensland Ambulance confirmed 'She was quite distressed… any wildlife is notoriously unpredictable, so on this occasion, it was a nasty and savage attack.' The goanna was eventually captured by reptile catcher Tony Harrison before it was released in bushland near inland Jimboomba. Experts say goanna bites can be dangerous as the carnivores feed on carrion and toxic bacteria in their mouths which can cause pain, swelling and prolonged bleeding.
