KOTA KINABALU: For veterinarian Dr Diana Raminez, the sight of a crocodile swallowing a python along Kinabatangan River was both sad and good news.

It was heart-wrenching to see the 5m-long reticulated python dead but it was also a sign that the Kinabatangan River’s eco-system was working well, said Dr Raminez, a wildlife rescue unit assistant manager.
