KOTA KINABALU: It has been a hectic time for wildlife rangers in Sabah following reports of a crocodile attack that killed a child in Lahad Datu and incidents of elephants roaming near schools and on farms.

State Wildlife Department director Augustine Tuuga said apart from being stretched in manpower in their bid to capture the killer crocodile, they were now attending to several reports of elephants in Lahad Datu and Tungku.

“And then on Monday morning, we were informed about another incident, that a Borneo pygmy elephant had wandered into a school in Lahad Datu, not far from the Lahad Datu airport,” he said. He said there were no reports of any injuries caused by the elephant, and advised the public to stay away from it if they saw the animal.

“These elephants were seen in smaller groups together, and our rangers are also trying to lure them away back to their habitat,” he said.
