Circus croc harpooned after five days of freedom

BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): A crocodile that escaped from its circus pen in Nakhon Sawan was captured late Tuesday (Feb 21) night after five days on the loose.

The nearly three-metre-long reptile dashed into the Ping River in the province’s Banphot Phisai district while its owner – Boonchuay Klinphai – was busy entertaining an audience with an elephant show, Boonchuay said.
