According to the Borneo Post, the crocodile was estimated to weigh a tonne but firefighters managed to capture it before releasing it into the wild.

Sarawak Forestry Community told the Post there had been no prior complaints of “menace or threat” posed by crocodiles in the area, but it would erect signage around the area where the reptiles are more commonly seen.

“Also considered was the fact that a survey carried out in May this year had shown that for the stretch of the Limbang River from the river mouth to Limbang town, the crocodile population density was about one reptile per kilometre, which is nowhere near the level where culling might be deemed necessary,” a statement read.
