A crocodile spotted in waters off Sentosa Cove is caught and euthanised, the National Parks Board (NParks) says. NParks states the animal is nearly 2 metres long. The board says the decision is made in view of public safety considerations and because there are no suitable relocation options for the crocodile. Multiple outlets report that the crocodile is removed after the sighting in the area, and then euthanised by authorities. NParks’ statement indicates that relocation cannot be carried out, leading to euthanasia as the final measure to address the immediate safety risk. The incident is presented as a response to the presence of a wild animal in public waters near a popular coastal area, with authorities acting to reduce potential harm to people.
