rooster59 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Gotcha! Phuket’s crocodile caught at Layan Beach By Kritsada Mueanhawong Phuket’s elusive crocodile has finally been caught at Layan Beach. The ‘Yanui’ crocodile (named by local Phuket reporters after the original beach it was sighted) has been caught at Layan Beach early today after more than ten days of search operations, sightings, drone photos and lots of people pointing out to sea. The crocodile was eventually caught by the Surat Thani-based crocodile catching team and local fishermen at 4am with a fishing net near Koh Kata off Layan Beach. The crocodile is now being taken to the Phuket Coastal Fisheries Research and Development Centre in Pa Khlok. Last year during August ‘Laypang’, a much larger crocodile, was caught at an inland lake in the same area after being sighted swimming offshore.

Popular Post animalmagic Posted July 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2018 They have caught 'a' crocodile off a Phuket beach. I'm not convinced it was the 'only' crocodile. I certainly will never swim in a lake at a golf course to retrieve my hat again! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that by its self is not big news, but the issue has being in the news for the past couple of weeks as the crocodile appeared at various beachside locations causing swimming restrictions and other disruptions. I am sure many would be glad to hear that it was caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears it's natural habitat was a concrete pen. "Officials say the presence of lichen on its skin suggests it had been raised in a pen built of moist cement blocks." - Thaiger When it previously swam towards a swimmer it was probably not attacking, but hoping to have a chicken thrown to it. Whom ever released it into the wild, eliciting panic among some, should themselves be incarcerated. They are testing DNA to determine it's species.
