Crocodile longer than car seen prowling in Kelantan paddy fields (VIDEO)

KOTA BARU, Dec 15 — An almost three-metre-long crocodile was spotted in a paddy field in Kampung Nechang, Tumpat, yesterday afternoon, following recent flooding in the area.

The appearance of the wayward crocodile startled local residents as the paddy field is a popular fishing spot, and this is the first time such a reptile, believed to have come from Sungai Nechang, has been seen there.

Resident Mohd Azam Jusoh, 35, said there had been no sign of such wild animals before, and its presence was causing concern among villagers.

“The appearance of the crocodile caused many villagers to come out to see the predator. We are worried that if the crocodile doesn’t leave the paddy field, it might swim towards the houses if flooding occurs again,” he told Bernama yesterday.
