ROBAN: A group of anglers were shocked to see a dead crocodile floating in Sungai Seblak near Kampung Melayu Roban here yesterday.
The discovery of the three‐metre reptile weighing over 100 kilogrammes clearly sent chills down the nearby villagers’ spines.
According to one of the anglers who requested anonymity said he and his friends were on their way to their favourite fishing spot at downstream when they spotted an object
resembling a log floating near the riverbank around 8.00am.
“As we got closer to the object, we realised that it was a dead crocodile and we immediately alerted the authority about the discovery,” he said.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC) when contacted confirmed receiving a report of the crocodile carcass.
He said the discovery of the carcass was a surprise as there was no instruction issued by the relevant authority to hunt or catch crocodiles in Sungai Seblak.
“The crocodile carcass was retrieved for further action,” said the spokesman.
