Buaya at Buloh

[budak]

One of the two known resident crocs at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. At first I saw this fellow resting by the bank and managed to get to within 2 m of him before a noisy family came by and scared him away

Later he resurfaced near the main bridge, where I managed to take a few shots.

Wow. I better watch my step if I am there next time.

2 crocs? If they are a pair ... how long will they be mature to have babies?

[sheng]

What the size of the croc?

[budak]

they still small la... less than 2 m.

[ranmasatome]

I think if they get any larger they will be trapped and taken in. Its just the way i would expect things to work here..

[cardinal]

Wow... nice shot bro! I'll be extra careful the next time I visit there.

[juggler]

Budak, Buloh, Burong, Buaya. What a coincidence...

[mervin]

there is a bigger one that is a least 2m if not more !

[hwchoy]

who calling me?

[ccs]

There is a croc farm near s.buloh right?wonder if it came from there

[oldman8]

woooo....he looks hungry. better give a warning to the public about this. do we just call the police if anyone spots it? I think will be quite dangerous right?

[valice]

Let's just leave him alone...
It is actually us who is disturbing him rather than the other way...

Crocs usually don't attack humans unless they are injured or agitated or guarding their nest... So we back off if we see them... The reserve is a reserve for a reason...

[oldman8]

Childrens might not know that there's a nest and wonder near. How then? At least the authority should put up notice for awareness?

[hwchoy]

there are plenty of croc signs in Sungei Buloh already.

[budak]

There are already lots of signs in the reserve, and the boardwalks/designated paths are placed quite high up above the mudflat/water level. So unless you have proper business getting off the path into the mud or water, encounters with any crocs are likely to be far off, as the animals are more wary of humans than vice versa. And in any case, smaller children should always be kept under close supervision during visits to such outdoor places.
