Strange fish-alligator in Phuket

A strange looking fish surprised local villagers in Phuket. This peculiar looking fish – a mix between a fresh water cat fish and an alligator or crocodile was caught by a Nareuphol Sa-Nguannam in the Chalong area. The fish is one metre long and weighs around 20 kilograms. Nareuphol caught the fish while fishing in a local pond with his fishing rod. He said he was surprised to see that the fish looks like cat fish and alligator and notified the fisheries office to pick it up as he is concerned about the fishs safety if it stays in the pond.Andaman News NBT (VHF dial) + Radio Thailand FM90.5 at 8.30am & perhaps repeats on Phuket Cable TV channel 1 at 7pm & 1am, broadcast to Phang Nga, Krabi & Phuket provinces & maybe Mazz Radio FM108 at 7pm in Phuket, Thursday 30th, 2008 & thainews.prd.go.th & www.YouTube.com/AndamanNews.com Send comments to AndamanNews@yahoo.com
