Mr. Pham Quoc Cuong, 37 years old, residing in Kham Thien Street (Dong Da) said that in the early afternoon of October 11, he and some friends went to the fishing lake in Dai Dong Street, Linh Nam Ward. At 17:30, it rained heavily, so he stopped fishing in the lake.

When it rains, he walks to the water ditch about 30 meters from the lake to watch some people fishing tilapia. " Seeing a water hyacinth rising like a log, then this thing crawled into the clear water, I was surprised to find that it was a crocodile, " Cuong said.

The animal swung violently, causing the water hyacinth to drift down the raceway. After about 5 minutes, the animal was controlled and brought to shore. It was a crocodile about a meter long, weighing 12 kg.

The crocodile caught was cramped in an iron cage. (Photo: Hoang Viet).

According to Mr. Cuong, the irrigation ditch is about 10 meters wide, half a meter deep, leading water to the lake and going to nearby fields. This area is far away from the population. Many people who sat in the previous sentence did not find crocodiles because it lurked in the ducklings. Falling rain, new crocodile emerged.

At present, Cuong confines crocodiles in the old iron cage, feeding pig lungs. " Maybe the animal was blown from a certain house, " Cuong said. The man who has fun fishing and playing this ornamental bird says he will eat crocodile and share it with his friends.
