PHUKET:-- Leypang, the rogue hybrid crocodile captured on Phuket’s east coast earlier this year, was moved to Phuket Zoo today (Dec 20), under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed to ensure the reptile’s safe future.

 

The MoU was signed at the Phuket Coastal Fisheries Research and Development Centre in Pa Khlok at 10:30am, ahead of Leypang’s transfer.

 

Present in person to sign the MoU were Phuket Fisheries Chief Paiboon Bunlippatanon, as a representative from the Department of Fisheries, and Pichai Sakunsorn, as a representative from Phuket Zoo Co Ltd.

No doubt 'Leypang' will have a full & wonderful life at Phuket Zoo .... I very much doubt it. Just a money making tourist attraction, The Fisheries Dept should be ashamed of themselves. No doubt money changed hands.

Never been there due to the drugged out tiger and other issues. Next year, this croc will ride bikes and learn to say HELLO. Idiots.

 

He belongs in the water. It helps keep the jet skis away!
