It took more than 30 minutes to catch it. When Mr.Surapong, got up for work and went outside to get into his car he noticed a large reptile that looked like a water monitor but when he approached it turned out to be a large crocodile. Once the crocodile spotted him it chased him so he ran back into his house and locked the door before calling the police.

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. 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya28 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 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 !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holeyman1 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chang_paarp Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 When they arrived at the scene, in front of a house they found a male crocodile nearly 2 meters long ,and weighing about 70-80 kgs, lying in front of the gate. It took more than 30 minutes to catch it. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorta like chicken but not as nice. Wouldn't go there again unless with a tasty marinade but even then I'd probably decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realenglish1 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 "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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
