Chonburi – Local residents searching for a monitor lizard at a lagoon in the Ko Chan district got an unpleasant surprise when they were bitten by a crocodile instead yesterday, April 27th, 2022.

 

Volunteers from a local fishery office were notified by local residents in Ko Chan that their ducks had disappeared from the area every day. They believed that those ducks were being eaten by a monitor lizard that they saw many days ago.

 

Several local residents, who were not specifically named, went down into the lagoon to search for the monitor lizard but two of them were bitten on a leg and another on a hand while in the lagoon.

Probably an idiom about marrying a bargirl:

 

Search for lizard, get bitten by crocodile. 

If you go down to the lake today be sure of a big surprise....

That size Croc comes out after  the egg opens in Australia. Fresh water croc"s  do no harm only if you want to play with them.

"The feisty snapper was taken to the local fishery office, which will then relocate the crocodile to a safer location."

 

 

When I worked up in the NT in Aus we saw big salties that were 5m+ in length. Truly terrifying close up. 

 

This thing is just a baby. Bless. 

Ai croco!
