That must be some strong guys holding a 70-80 kg crocodile so easily

[DD13]

Just shutting the door wasn't adequate ?....so he locked it .....odd

[fatdrunkandstupid]

If that crocodile is 70 kgs I have a 14 inch old fella

[MilesofSmiles]

That's not a Croc....

Geez, dude, read the article. It said they responded to the "crime scene."

Obviously the reptile was a burglar. Probably specializes in stealing croc pots.

[whoisyourdaddy]

I only have one question.

How did they determine croc was angry? may be croc was happy but grumpy

You always know when a croc is angry - it gets very snappy. You're not good with body language, are you.

I like the look in the face of the guy with the apron on the side of the picture

Never been up close and personal with a croc, but would imagine croc would be snappy any time, hence why its a croc though does not mean croc is angry, may well be grumpy or wrong time of the month

Crocodiles are surprisingly good at opening locks.

Oh come on....it must be a fancy dress party going on in that house !!!

[Pattaya28]

I just love these stories.

A water monitor that turned instantaneously into a croc.

The croc at the ""crime scene"" was 2 meters long ??

2 Water meters ?? 2 Electricity meters ??

And dare I ask what crime had been committed ??

And this "large" croc looks to me like a baby croc, with behavioural patterns like a dog, i.e. chasing people.

Great story !!

[holeyman1]

C'mon guys, let's put things in perspective shall we?

that is clearly an alligator and fancy dressed lady-boy simply waiting for his/her wallet, belt and handbag made out of that alligator-croc!

somtam palah

You shoulda seen the one that got away!

I will agree that the creature was nearly 2 metres long but it would not bother the weighbridge for more than 15kg. Taking over 30 minutes to catch the juvenile means they did not have access to someone who knew what they were doing. Interestingly the rest of the article seems to infer that the croc was an escapee from a local farm. They were going to ask the owner if he knew of any other escapees following a recent storm.

Any croc left wandering the streets of Sattahip would be angry about their plight.

Still, for a brief instant, a reprieve from his fate back at the farm...

I tried a croc burger once. Sorta like chicken but not as nice. Wouldn't go there again unless with a tasty marinade but even then I'd probably decline.

"CRIME SCENE" WOW

Amazing it went from an angry croc to a crime scene. I don't get it I guess that the phrase "crime scene" is necessary for the news writer to warrant attention

GET IT "CRIME SCENE" "WARRANT"

[transam]

I think the two guys consoling the reptile together weigh 80 kg. .............

And over the first 30 yards or so, they are faster off the blocks than a thoroughbred.

Wonder if the photographer knew that?

Um, it's a crocodile mate. Odly enough, the journalism is correct
