Unexpected crocodile attacks in Sabah pose challenge for wildlife rangers


KOTA KINABALU: Wildlife rangers are not able to act before a crocodile attack, because it is hard to determine or expect where and when an attack is going to happen, says Sabah Wildlife Department director Augustine Tuuga.

Therefore, the public must be extra alert and careful in view of the ongoing crocodile attacks in the state, he added when contacted on Wednesday (Jan 17).
