Photos: 20-Ft Crocodile DIES After Fire Figthers Fought A 10-Hour Battle To Rescue It

Incredible photos show firefighters rescuing a 20ft-long crocodile from a drain during a 10-hour operation. But the rescue efforts were in vain as the reptile died hours later.

The one-tonne reptile was heard thrashing around after getting stuck in the tidal dam in Kapar, Malaysia, on Saturday night.

Emergency services arrived at 11.41pm and spent 10 hours battling to free the beast while the high tide obscured it. They eventually winched it from the water at 10am on Sunday morning but it died several hours later.
