Saltwater crocs have been recorded (quite often) to grow up to 8m. go the zoo take a look, they got some HUGE ones at the zoo. although i don't think they should"get rid of it", they should relocate it la. pasir ris there got so many ppl who go down to the river bank and all, if it grows bigger might be dangerous for it and us humans who always go and ji siao wildlife.

if i not wrong newspaper stated 3 crocs sighted. u lock their tiny legs for wad? its their jaws u should lock. 9lives very fast use up de if size up opponents wrongly...

getting rid of them does not always mean death, maybe tranquiliser shots & bring them into captivity?

[TheQuestion]

that croc better hide...otherwise it'll be a handbag and lunch!

if end up in some croc farm, its $$ to operators. dun kill now, but later likely will?...

now more important nobody is hurt or b-cos of them. therefore they cant remain in publicly accessible places much longer.

haha i agree, first priority is (unfortunately) to remove them from the river. but some nature lovers will disagree and say that we humans are intruding on their habitat etc etc. haha

still its in our best interest e danger is not there, there r other sane & safe options to get close to nature. being close to large & possibly hungry carnivorous animals is just not 1 of them.

kindly sign a death note at nearest NPP b4 doing so...

saltys are one of the croc family that doesn't hesitate to eat a human if given a chance, much like the nile croc.
