Phuket sandboxers have 1 more thing to keep track of as a crocodile may still be on the free. Scientifically proven from the Sirinat National Park are still looking out for a crocodile within the area after a search yesterday did not uncover the scaly reptile. Officials speculate that the crocodile may actually be a water monitor lizard.
Park officials have been assisted in their search by a staff from the Phuket Fisheries Office. The crocodile was last reported seen in Koh Kata, on the northern tip of Layan Beach. The combined forces searched from 2:30pm until 4:30pm but did not report seeing any crocodiles, says Chief of the Phuket Fisheries Office, Watcharin Rattanachoo. The staff consulted lifeguards and native fishermen, who also did not report seeing any crocodiles.
Watcharin adds that a number of monitor lizards were seen within the space being fed by local fishermen. He says that they now believe whoever spotted the “crocodile” may have been taking a glance at a monitor lizard and mistook it for a crocodile.
“We have not been capable of finding any crocodiles like the one reported,” provides Watcharin.
The Chief concluded his remarks by saying that officers have coordinated with lifeguards and the top of the park protection unit to look out for any crocodiles in the area; which is a normal process to keep folks protected.
Back in July, Si Racha residents had been warned of the presence of baby crocodiles in a neighborhood lagoon. The month earlier than that, crocodiles escaped from a farm in Trat.
