Crocodile attacks in Myanmar's Ayeyarwaddy Delta are on the rise due to the expansion of settlements and the encroachment of humans on crocodile habitats. In one incident, a man was dragged into the water by a crocodile but managed to escape by hitting it with a crab hammer. Two people from Baw Ga Wa Di village have died in crocodile attacks in the past year, and others have had near-death encounters. Local residents are calling on authorities to take action to catch and kill the crocodiles responsible for the attacks. Conservation efforts and the creation of buffer zones are needed to prevent further conflicts between humans and crocodiles.
