TAWAU: Suasana di Kampung Pangkalan Asli, Merotai, gempar semalam apabila seekor buaya gergasi sepanjang 17 kaki akhirnya ditembak selepas beberapa hari menjadi igauan ngeri penduduk.<\/p>\n
Reptilia bersaiz luar biasa itu ditemui di tebing sungai berhampiran kawasan nelayan sebelum pasukan Jabatan Hidupan Liar (JHL) menjalankan operasi khas bagi menangkap haiwan berkenaan.<\/p>\n
Menurut Timbalan Ketua Bahagian Merotai merangkap Ketua Kampung Pangkalan Asli, Mohammad Fakir, tindakan pantas itu diambil selepas pihaknya menerima aduan daripada nelayan yang bimbang keselamatan mereka akibat kelibat buaya berkenaan.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuaya ini amat besar, dianggarkan lebih 17 kaki panjang. Dalam tempoh 24 jam, ini adalah buaya keempat yang berjaya ditangkap di kawasan kampung kami,\u201d katanya.<\/p>\n
Penduduk mendakwa kelibat buaya sering muncul berhampiran jeti dan muara sungai sejak beberapa minggu lalu, dipercayai mencari mangsa atau sumber makanan.<\/p>\n
\u201cRamai nelayan takut turun ke sungai, terutama pada waktu malam. Kami bersyukur operasi ini berjaya tanpa sebarang kecederaan,\u201d tambahnya.<\/p>\n
Kejadian itu turut menarik perhatian penduduk sekitar yang hadir menyaksikan proses penangkapan dan menzahirkan rasa lega selepas ancaman reptilia berkenaan berjaya dihapuskan.<\/p>\n
Slogan \u201cAnak Merotai, Merotai Kita\u201d kini menjadi semangat penduduk untuk terus berganding bahu menjaga keselamatan komuniti mereka daripada ancaman buaya yang semakin kerap dilihat di kawasan sungai utama.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
