Before Kebir could respond, there was a thundering sound as though the river had exploded! with Bangan disappeared! Thus began the saga of Bujang Senang, the notorious man-eating crocodile of the Batang Lupar, Sarawak, who managed to give many a sharp-shooter, leave alone countless Bomohs (witch doctors) and professional crocodile catchers the slip for many years. Crocodiles, feared more than any other wild animal by the local inhabitants of Borneo, continue to exact a toll on human lives along the Batang Lupar and other rivers of Borneo. This is the story of Bujang Senang and other man-eating crocodiles of Borneo, traced by veteran journalist James Ritchie and crocodile specialist and proprietor of Jong’s Crocodile Farm, Johnson Jong. But for their efforts, these stories would have remained the topics of occasional Iban long-house storytelling sessions.
