7-Foot Crocodile Found in Gujarat Home Bathroom, Safely Rescued and Released
A family in Gujarat's Anand district discovered a 7-foot crocodile inside their bathroom late at night after dogs alerted them with barking. The homeowner, Balabhai Chauhan, found the reptile while investigating the noise. A rescue team of forest officials and wildlife volunteers safely captured the crocodile after nearly an hour and released it into a nearby pond. Officials noted such incidents increase during monsoon due to rising water levels forcing crocodiles from their natural habitats into residential areas.
