Escaped crocodile recaptured in Nong Khai



NONG KHAI: -- A 3-metre long and 300-kilo weighed crocodile escaped from a farm in Nong Khai was recaptured last night lying near a dog cage.

The recapture of this crocodile came after a fruit farm owner on Nong Khai-Phonpisai road in Phonpisai district was awakened from his bed by dog barks.

He came out and checked and finally found a crocodile lying near the dog cage.

Shocked by the unexpected visit, he immediately alerted his neighbours and sought their help.

Rescue officials and workers from a crocodile farm arrived and managed to recapture it.

The farm workers told police that the escaped crocodile named “Chompoo” is among four crocodiles escaped from the farm a few days earlier.

Three had been recaptured except Chompoo, they said.

Wouldn't want that huge handbag in my garden.

that is the reason why most people have a decent fence so animals like this will not trespass. And of course one needs not for forget to close the gate.

And there he was, after having a great night out, being blown away by a pack of dogs! Life's a bitch, aint it?

He'd be a "Mekong Croc"

Breaking news,Croc escapee Chompoo is still at large.The public are warned to be suspicious of a crocodile speaking in a strange accent asking directions to the Mekong river.

People are asked not to approach the suspect as he is well toothed and very dangerous.
