On the morning of July 18, a report was filed stating that a crocodile was roaming around Soyang Stream in Chang-dong, Yeoju. The captured crocodile is estimated to be a pet, measuring approximately 50 cm in length. The Yeoju Rescue Team plans to protect and manage the crocodile over the weekend before handing it over to the city government.
According to the Wildlife Protection Act, crocodiles can only be raised in registered facilities. Consequently, fire authorities are investigating how the crocodile escaped, focusing on breeding facilities near the location where it was found. How did the crocodile end up in Soyang Stream?
