This wild beast measuring 4.5 meters and weighing 500 kilograms was then transferred to its new home, far away from humans where it can continue to enjoy its wild undisturbed life while the locals can also enjoy their happy lives as well. #ConservingForGenerations

Between January 2023 and July 2024, it is reported that this 45 year old crocodile had mauled two people, and killed one, while also severely injuring four others. This had for long left the villagers in condition of total fear. #ConservingForGenerations

Although the crocodile has now been moved away from humans, we cautioned the locals to remain vigilant as there could still be other crocodiles lurking in the waters.
We commend our incredible capture team for yet another awesome job well done! #ConservingForGenerations
