Crocodile spotted at Pandan Reservoir, search & capture operations ongoing
Water activities in the reservoir have been suspended.
A crocodile was spotted at Pandan Reservoir on August 20, prompting the suspension of water activities in the area. PUB and the National Parks Board (NParks) informed the Singapore Rowing Association and Singapore Canoe Federation to suspend all activities. Both agencies are conducting search and capture operations, and signage is being installed to alert the public.
Based on a photo provided to PUB, the crocodile is likely an estuarine crocodile, which feeds and rests in brackish and freshwater areas and mainly hunts fish at night. This is the latest in a series of crocodile sightings this year, with previous encounters in February and May. The public is advised to stay calm, avoid approaching or feeding the animal, and report encounters to NParks or PUB.
