Six feet long crocodile rescued from Lalbaug

Vadodara: When the city was asleep early on Wednesday, a crocodile was out for a walk in Lalbaug area. The six-feet-long reptile had crawled out of a pond nearby and was seen moving around under the Lalbaug flyover at about 3 am. A state reserve personnel (SRP) jawan spotted the reptile on the road and contacted the activists.
“We reached the spot and saw that the reptile was trying to move to some other areas. It is a densely located area so we immediately rescued it and handed it over to the forest department. It is our first crocodile rescue call after it started raining in the city,” said Hemant Vadhwana, animal activist. A pond under the Lalbaug flyover is home to a couple of crocodiles including an adult.
