PHUKET:-- What the public want to do with “Leypang the Croc”, captured in a swamp in BangTao on Phuket’s west coast in August, will be discussed and decided at a public meeting tomorrow, The Phuket News has learned.

 

The Department of Fisheries will hold a public meeting at the Phuket Coastal Fisheries Research and Development Centre in Pa Khlok at 1pm to discuss what to do with Leypang as the crocodile is now considered to be “the property of the nation”.

 

The news broke yesterday (Nov 15) when Dr Thon Thamrongnawasawat, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Fisheries at Kasetsart University in Bangkok and official advisor to the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR), posted on Facebook a copy of the official invitation for him to join the event.

If he is a Mongrel Croc - then he came from a farm originally. Escapee.

The Thais tried to reduce the vicious attributes of salt water crocs by cross breeding with Siamese Crocs in their farms
and ended up with one that was more vicious. I do not think crocs of different species in the wild cross breed.
