MIRI, May 21, 2017 - A 17-foot long monster crocodile was
captured by the Sarawak Forestry Corporation's Swift Wildlife Action Team
(SWAT) at Sungai Suai, Niah, after it took a bait yesterday.
A huge crocodile, which was caught at Sungai Suai, Niah, has been transferred to Benaya Crocodile Farm
It was seen lurking at the river by the villagers on May
12, who then reported the sighting to SWAT here.
“Our SWAT received a report that a large crocodile had
been seen frequently lurking in the river," a statement issued by SFC said
today, adding that based on the report, a SWAT team was despatched to the scene
on May 14
“The crocodile
finally took one of the three baits yesterday, and was subsequently pulled into the riverbank
and restrained," SFC said, adding the it is a male and its weight could
probably reach up to 1-tonne.
Due to its extremely large size and heavy, it required an excavator to remove the monster
from the riverbank onto the lorry before
being transferred to the Benaya Crocodile Farm.
