According to Daily Monitor, a Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) official, Peter Ogwang said that 700-kilogramm crocodile that killed 5 people was recently captured.
Ogwang said “The attacks by these animals are now increasing. Right now I am in Ngoma [central Uganda] tracking down a crocodile which has eaten 32 goats in the village.”
Authorities warn
The spokesman of the UWA, Bashir Hangi also warned people in the area to keep away from the places where these crocodiles stay.
Hangi said “We are advising people to avoid areas where these man-eater crocodiles are.
