KOTA KINABALU: A 4.4m-long adult crocodile was caught by Pulau Gaya villagers on Saturday (June 12) night, after it was earlier spotted roaming around the waters near the island, about a 10-minute boat ride from here.

Sightings of the male crocodile caused a stir earlier during the day, with videos of the reptile swimming in the waters near the coastal city of Kota Kinabalu being circulated, including near Tanjung Aru.
