: SPOKESMAN-REVIEW (Spokane, Idaho) 18 March 00 'Extinct' crocodiles found in Cambodia : A species of crocodile previously believed to be extinct in the wild has been found in the remote western jungles of Cambodia, a newspaper reported Friday. : Researchers from Fauna and Flora International sighted three Siamese crocodiles living in rivers and marshes within the Cardamom mountain range near Cambodia's border with Thailand, the Phnom Penh Post reported. : "To see three in such a short time suggest they are not uncommon in this area," field team leader Jennifer Daltry said about the Feb. 25 to March 7 expedition. : Siamese crocodiles, native to Thailand, were hunted to extinction in the country and only a few live in captivity. : The Cardamom mountain range has recently become accessible to conservationists since Khmer Rouge insurgents in the area surrendered to the Cambodian government in late 1998. Fauna and Flora International is a conservation group based in Britain and founded in 1903. :
