Crocodile spotted near resort

A crocodile has been spotted from the coastal area of Jumeriah Vittaveli resort in K. Atoll.

MNDF stated that the incident involving the crocodile was reported around 10:32 in the morning.

The estimated four-feet reptilian was spotted by an employee of the resort. The crocodile had scurried into the water as soon as it was closed down, according to MNDF officials, who are now actively searching for the reptile in the area.

Crocodiles are sometimes spotted in the waters of the Maldives, however, an incident with one of these creatures is almost unheard of as they are not native to the area.
