A VILLAGER was startled to discover a live crocodile weighing about 100kg trapped in a fishing net at Kampung Birahan, Kota Marudu on Oct 13.
The eight-foot-long reptile was subsequently captured by a five-member team from the Kota Marudu Civil Defence Force (APM), which used the complainant’s boat to reach the location.
