Villagers have been alerted to the threat posed by crocodiles in Myanmar's Ayeyarwady delta region following an attack by a crocodile on a young man, Xinhua reported quoting a Wildlife Conservation Group.

The young man, aged 22, was bitten by the crocodile while he was emptying water out of his boat near the edge of a river at a village in Bogale township in Ayeyarwady region Tuesday.

He underwent treatment at a local station hospital and was reported stable so far.

Crocodile attacks are common in Myanmar's delta region, the report said.
