During heavy rains in Gujarat's Vadodara from August 27 to 29, a total of 24 crocodiles and 75 other animals were rescued from residential areas as the Vishwamitri river overflowed. The crocodiles, which typically inhabit the river, often venture into urban zones when flooding occurs, prompting concerns among residents. The largest crocodile rescued measured 14 feet, while the smallest was two feet long, and no incidents of crocodile-human conflict were reported during this period. Despite their presence, crocodiles mainly feed on fish and small animals rather than humans. Public fear has been heightened due to videos circulating of crocodiles in urban settings, including one capturing five crocodiles dragging a dog. The rescued reptiles will be returned to the Vishwamitri river now that water levels have significantly dropped.
