Crocodile In Belait Hut: Anyone Home?
By Azlan Othman

Kuala Belait - When a crocodile was caught on camera entering a hut along the Belait River, the picture was forwarded to the public via e-mails, reminding them about the danger it may pose if the reptile were to enter their homes.

It was a thought that no one could bear.

The most recent sighting was a 10-foot crocodile at Kampong Pandan Recreational Lagoon, captured on camera by two teenagers who were in the area to snap pictures of the beautiful scenery last Thursday afternoon.

The reptile was spotted basking on the tracks of the park, with jaws wide open, presumably waiting for food.

Residents in the area voiced their concerns, as it was not the first crocodile sighting on the pathways.

In recent years, the reptile was also spotted in Anduki Park, Kampong Layong and Kampong Pengkalan Batu.

When flooding hit several Tutong villages recently, crocodiles were seen swimming in the areas.   -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
