A large crocodile suddenly appeared at a
canal in Dong Trom district, Ben Tre 

00:00:07.549 --> 00:00:09.756 
province, causing great concern for the people. 

00:00:10.436 --> 00:00:13.932 
The local government has issued an
urgent warning, requiring people, 

00:00:13.932 --> 00:00:18.476 
especially children, not to swim or fish
in this area to ensure safety. 

00:00:18.896 --> 00:00:22.212 
According to the Tan Thanh commune
government, the crocodile was about 2 

00:00:22.212 --> 00:00:26.356 
meters long and weighed about 150 kg,
and was discovered by people in the Tu 

00:00:26.356 --> 00:00:29.396 
Chay canal and Cay Gia culvert
areas of Tan Phuoc hamlet. 

00:00:29.396 --> 00:00:32.596 
Many people fishing by boat saw
crocodiles floating on the water and 

00:00:32.596 --> 00:00:34.996 
even crawled ashore to dry them in the sun. 

00:00:35.476 --> 00:00:38.876 
The local government also said that Tan
Thanh commune does not have a crocodile farm. 

00:00:39.436 --> 00:00:42.321 
It is likely that the crocodile had
enough to leave the nest from another 

00:00:42.321 --> 00:00:44.176 
place and then follow the river to get here. 

00:00:44.636 --> 00:00:48.139 
The functional forces and militia of Tan
Thanh commune are still organizing a 

00:00:48.139 --> 00:00:49.756 
plot to search for the crocodile.
