IS this the first photo of the elusive, much-talked about “wandering cock” or has this Darwin driver simply taken overcompensating to a new level?

While we cannot confirm the validity of the image with the Department of Migrating Genitalia as their spokesman did not wish to comment in fear it would create a public frenzy, we are more than happy to theorise that this is one of the dangerous “wandering cocks” that invaded Kakadu National Park earlier in the year.

It seems they are now moving into urban areas, possibly looking for new breeding grounds.

There are reports they are extremely territorial and will attack if approached.

Although there was no banana in the photo for scale, we can safely estimate this is at least a 1.5m fully-matured, adult hairless “wandering cock.”

We urge all NT News readers to keep a close eye out for these dangerous creatures as they could appear anywhere at anytime.

We’ve received reports a “wandering cock” was hit and killed by a vehicle in Parap.
