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
  1. Stick to designated footpaths
  2. Pay attention to warning signs and safety advisories
  3. If you encounter a crocodile, stay calm and back away slowly

Don'ts
  1. Do not linger at the water's edge or enter the water, especially at night or while fishing
  2. Do not approach their nests, as protective female crocodiles may turn aggressive
  3. If you encounter a crocodile, do not approach it
  4. Do not feed them. This makes them associate people with food, encouraging them to approach
