KUALA LUMPUR, Feb. 26 -- Authorities have intensified efforts to capture a three-metre crocodile spotted in Sungai Klang near a shopping mall, now entering its sixth day.

According to the New Straits Times (NST), the Federal Territories Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) has placed a second trap near Seputeh, where the crocodile was last seen, while the first trap remains near the mall.

Perhilitan director Ishak Muhammad said live chickens are being used as bait to lure the animal.

"We decided to use live chickens to attract the crocodile and have positioned the second trap upstream," Ishak was quoted as saying, adding that the public should avoid activities along the river until the animal is caught.
