The team, according to Bernalte, will need the help of soldiers and militiamen to secure them from lawless elements.
Bernalte said that when they recapture the crocodile, it will be housed at the crocodile rescue center at the Amas Complex here until the city government has completed fixing the mini-zoo.
The crocodile escaped by destroying the pen’s cyclone wire last Saturday.
The crocodile, according to PCRBC head Dr.[]
Cayetano Pomares, belongs to the Crocodylus mindorensis species, considered a rare and an endangered species.
The crocodile originated from President Roxas town in North Cotabato.
