Crocodile spotted, captured in town

KHANH HOA — A 12-kilo crocodile was caught on Sunday in the densely populated neighbourhood of Dien Khanh District in central Khanh Hoa Province.

The one-metre-long reptile had been spotted in a local spring two days before it was caught by local residents who used electricity to paralyse it.

They sold the crocodile for VND1.5 million (US$72).

Local residents said that crocodiles had never been seen in the region before. — VNS
