Pls dont swim at Pasir Ris Beach..Beware
Hey there, I saw that you’ve been circulating a post on a crocodile spotted at Pasir Ris. I couldn’t comment, but I’d like you to share with the people who commented there that:
This crocodile has been a resident of Pasir Ris Beach for an estimated 5 years, they actually live and call the shoreline their home and no action should be taken against the animal, that includes reporting. There are at least 2-3 crocodiles in the area, and they have been coexisting with parkgoers for a long time, even people canoeing and kayaking did not report any aggressive behaviour from the crocodiles.
What should be done is for the general public to be educated on what to do in case of a crocodile encounter, and do not approach them, especially if you’ve not have the prior training to face these large, powerful animals. Watch from a distance, and keep away from off bounds forested areas, as it’s believed that a mother had built a nest in the area and an angry momma crocodile is not something you would want to face.
