- Animal rights advocates are calling for authorities to provide a natural reserve for the beach croc caught on Phuket’s west coast last week.

The reptile, dubbed “Leypang” after the area where he was found, seems depressed since being detained after appearing playful when he was free. Advocates are becoming worried about him being provided appropriate care.
Leypang was caught early Friday morning and is being kept at a Phuket Coastal Fisheries Research and Development Center in Phuket.

Immediately after the 200-kilo, three-meter saltwater croc’s capture, Phuket Gov. Norraphat Plodthong ordered officials along the west coast to look for other crocodiles in their areas to ensure public safety.

Local crocodile farms and tourist show venues were also checked to confirm no crocodiles were missing.

To date, no others have been found. To experts, that is not surprising. Saltwater crocodiles for decades have been widely considered to be near extinct in Thailand, and any rogues that are found in Thai waters are protected as they are listed as an endangered species in the country...
