What is scarier than a crocodile?

A buaya hanging out alone on Valentine's Day. ?

In a Facebook post on Feb. 14, Singapore's National Water Agency, PUB, alerted members of the public that a crocodile was sighted in the Lower Seletar Reservoir in the morning.

While Estuarine crocodiles are native species, they are mostly spotted in Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve and the northwest area.

Estuarine crocodiles are critically endangered, according to the Red List of threatened animals of Singapore.

Lower Seletar Reservoir is located at the east of Yishun Town and Orchid Country Club is by the reservoir.

One Facebook user, Daniel Ang, shared in the comment section of the PUB post a photo of the supposed crocodile.

The lone crocodile was caught sun-basking near the Aranda Course, one of the golf courses at the country club that is near Hole 7.
