"their presence atop the mountainous area indicates that the ecosystem within the province is still rich with natural resources and teeming with life."

Possibly.

Or maybe someone released them there, and maybe they are hybrids. In any case I would not believe this until they have conducted DNA tests.

Wild Siamese crocs are as common as rocking horse crap, so I hope it is true.

Good ,it is refreshing to hear that wildlife can survive in spite of man.

Hope they find some pangolin as well

wonder if the Chinese have invented any ancient traditions regarding the consumption of crocodile parts or eggs....

Frankly, I appreciate your humor but I would suggest you to do some reading on about these Siamese crocs. smile.png

Contrary to your belief, the farm-raised crocodiles that you see in tourist attractions across Thailand are actually of a different breed. The ones in the Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm can reach up to 6 meters. Siamese crocs are actually rather small, only up to 2 meters in length on average.

On a side note, these are the actual crocs that were discovered. Pictures are taken from the Post Today website.

Imagine taking a dip in a mountain stream - the only thing you think you need to worry about is a horny trout, and then.......ooops!

Is nowhere safe anymore!?

Locals living in Noen Maprang District of the province have led a team of journalists to uncover the newly discovered freshwater crocodile population by going on an arduous 13-kilometer trek atop the mountain.

If you go down to the woods today, You're sure of a big surprise! smile.png

Hope they get the full protection they deserve. thumbsup.gif
