Two-metre long crocodile found in Malacca monsoon drain

MALACCA: A two-metre long crocodile, believed to have lost its way in the monsoon drain in Melaka Perdana, Ayer Keroh, was caught by members of the Malacca Civil Defence Department (JPAM) this morning.

The reptile, weighing about 80 kilogrammes, was caught at 11am after a grass-cutter doing work in the area stumbled upon the animal, Harian Metro reported.

State JPAM director Effendy Ali said seven personnel were involved in the capture of the reptile.

“Our men took about 30 minutes to capture it. We had to subdue it first as it was behaving aggressively.

“The animal has been handed over to the Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) for further action,” he said.
