PHNOM PENH: Five nests of nearly-extinct Siamese crocodiles have been discovered in Cambodia's Cardamom National Park, which is the largest number of nests ever found in more than 20 years, a conservationist group said in a joint press release on Thursday (July 18)
"These five nests contained 106 eggs, of which 66 were fertilised, and our park rangers and communities closely monitored them," the press release said. "As a result, a total of 60 Siamese crocodile eggs successfully hatched out between June 27 and 30, 2024."
