In what the National Parks Board (NParks) has called "a rare occurrence", several visitors to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve came across a saltwater crocodile lying across the main footpath.
On Nov 20, a teacher and a small group of seven-year-old schoolchildren from the United World College of South East Asia (UWCSEA) encountered the crocodile while on a field trip.
Dos and don'ts
Dos
- Stick to designated footpaths
- Pay attention to warning signs and safety advisories
- If you encounter a crocodile, stay calm and back away slowly
Don'ts
- Do not linger at the water's edge or enter the water, especially at night or while fishing
- Do not approach their nests, as protective female crocodiles may turn aggressive
- If you encounter a crocodile, do not approach it
- Do not feed them. This makes them associate people with food, encouraging them to approach
