ALOR GAJAH: The Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) has identified several reasons behind the appearance of a two-metre long saltwater crocodile at the Tanjung Bidara recreational seafront.
Melaka Perhilitan director Mohd Firrdhaus Mahmood said rivalry, searching for food and a new habitat, crossing to another estuary and looking for fresh ground to lay eggs were probable factors as to why the crocodile emerged along the Melaka shoreline.
“We believe the reptile that was spotted here is from Sungai Linggi,” he said after leading an operation to capture the crocodile at Tanjung Bidara here on Tuesday . The Negri Sembilan government had gazetted a 1.37ha site as a saltwater crocodile sanctuary on May 4, 2021, while low-impact development to the sanctuary areas was implemented to protect the species which used Sg Linggi as its natural habitat.
