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.

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.

Will be served in the local markets soon, make mine snappy .

Just look out for the handbag stall next to the food stall.

What if it got into the Mekong ?

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

What if it got into the Mekong ?

He'd be a "Mekong Croc"

What if it got into the Mekong ?

It would have had a better existence.

Four of them escaped? which one was the 'tunnel king?' Which one rode the motor bike over the wire?Which one looks more like Richard Attenborough?

Da da dadada da da.

The great croc escape...i love it.

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.

nice farmer who uses his best friend as BAIT.
