Shock for Limbang villager after huge croc discovered lurking underneath house
by Mastura Ismail · Borneo Post OnlineLIMBANG (Nov 1): A Limbang village was taken aback yesterday when he spotted a large crocodile lurking beneath his stilted house over the Limbang River in Kampung Bukit Kota.
Tuming Tudin, 63, said he noticed the reptile around noon by chance.
He said he panicked for a moment before contacting a relative in the village, who came over to assess the situation.
Tuming shared that it was not the first time he had encountered crocodiles near his home.
“Crocodiles have often been seen under my house previously – some are small and some are large,” he told reporters today, noting that the frequent presence of these reptiles poses a safety concern.
Other villagers in Kampung Bukit Kota had similar close encounters with the reptiles.
On one occasion recently, a large crocodile was spotted basking at the Bukit Kota ferry base, and in another incident a few years ago, villagers witnessed crocodiles attacking their ducks.
