Five crocodiles were caught after escaping from captivity when their enclosure collapsed during heavy rain in Indonesia.
The beasts reportedly measured an average of 16 feet and fled from the facility in Cianjur Regency in West Java where they were being kept for breeding.
Cianjur Sub-district Head Tomtom Dani Gardiat said on October 3 that all five crocs have been captured.
He said: 'There were five that escaped, one of which had entered the residents' settlement and the other four were still around the breeding ground. All of them have been secured.'
The fugitive crocs were among 80 that reportedly belonged to the Bogor Natural Resources Conservation Agency.
