Actually, crocodile attacks are not only in Bangka but also in Kalimantan and some in the interior of Java. The victims are usually people who fish in swampy areas and bathe in rivers..😬

Why Indonesia struggles with crocodile attacks. Because they live among crocodiles.

[@ECOSAM-SG]

Crocodiles may rule the waters in Indonesia, but in Singapore, it’s our hawker uncles and aunties who reign supreme! 🇸🇬🦁 While wildlife conservation is crucial, this reminds me of how important it is to protect and support our own ‘endangered species’-our small businesses. From heritage brands to family-run stalls, they’ve weathered storms (thankfully, not crocodiles) to keep serving our communities. What’s your favorite local business that deserves a shoutout? Let’s back local before they become as rare as a Singaporean who doesn’t love chicken rice! 🍚🐔

Hahaa, love how you use your analogy to connect our uncles and aunties business to the crocodile. But yeah, their business should be supported to some extent, especially now is a very difficult era to live in.

That's the problem with many countries in Southeast Asia. Nothing is documented down there so people can spread fake news. Do you tag them? How do you educate others? etc.

I turned in a bunch of scrap metal in recently, they were only paying 10 cents per pound of scrap tin.

Humans go out into a crocks hunting grounds and are attacked. How strange! Who would've thought? And Indo is the only place that happens? SMH It also happens with venomous and constrictor snakes in Indo, too but with more frequency.

Do you think there are no crocodiles in Indonesian cities?

[@fidelcatsro6948]

Introduce alligators in the eco system to control the crocodile menace

[@julesampo1607]

They're smaller and weaker than crocodiles. Plus they would be an invasive species, therefore being an overall negative for the environment as they'd do more harm than good.

[@JojoJoget]

Lmao they’ll just be food

[@fidelcatsro6948]

@ its okay Florida seems to be comfortable with them..

[@julesampo1607]

@@fidelcatsro6948 that's cos the environment and the animals have evolved to coexist with both species, unlike SEA.
