Four meter-long croc likely an ‘interstate traveller’

BUTTERWORTH: The crocodile – almost four meters long and an estimated 500kg – caught in Penang was most likely an “interstate traveller”, said Malaysian Nature Society adviser D. Kanda Kumar.

Stunned that such a huge beast was netted off the coast of Bagan Ajam on mainland Penang, he said Seberang Prai has no mangrove ecosystem vast enough for the reptile to get so big.
