Phnom Penh: Two rare Siamese crocodiles, approximately five to six months old, along with their mother, have been discovered in the Srepok River area.

According to Agence Kampuchea Presse, the wildlife conservation organization WWF Cambodia announced this significant discovery on January 20. The announcement followed a five-day expedition conducted by a joint team to the Srepok River location.
