Wildlife team overwhelmed by rash of croc sightings

KOTA KINABALU: The spate of crocodile attacks of late appears to have weighed down on the Sabah Wildlife Department, which has a mere four-man team to deal with such cases.

“It is difficult to attend to cases as quickly as we want to. We get reports of crocodile sightings from areas such as Banggi, Kudat, Pitas, Kinarut, Kawang and Kuala Penyu, just to name a few,” said department director Augustine Tuuga.
