Vadodara: A crocodile was rescued from Kelanpur village on the outskirts of the city on Sunday night. The five-foot-long crocodile had entered a lake in the village a few dayago. Locals said they spotted two to three crocodiles in the lake.
When one of the crocodiles killed two stray dogs and a goat that had ventured out near the lake, locals panicked and called up wildlife activists. “Villagers were scared to visit the lake for fetching water as they feared that the crocodiles may attack them. We got a call on Sunday following which a trap was set there,” said a Wildlife Rescue Trust (WRT) volunteer.
The reptile was handed over to forest officials. Over last two weeks, this is the third incident of a crocodile being rescued. Some days ago, a baby crocodile was spotted near Kala Ghoda Circle.
