The Banting Fire and Rescue station had their hands full last night when a 3.6 metre-long crocodile decided to turn up at a village there.
The New Straits Times reports that the reptile was spotted sometime around 9.40pm when a distress call was made to the station — a team of 10 was sent to the scene in Jalan Bukit Perah, Kampung Olak Lempit.
“The crocodile turned aggressive during our attempts to capture it. However, it was caught after two hours,” station chief Jaslizad Jalil told the daily.
He said the animal will be transported to the Paya Indah Wetlands — a wildlife conservation zone located within the town that also serves as home to crocodiles and hippos — soon.
