Family member spotted 4 feet long crocodile in the toilet of his house in Gujarat

Around 4 feet long crocodile was spotted in a toilet of a house near Khodiyar Mataji temple in the Kharakuva extension of Sojitra in Anand, Gujarat.

The reptile was discovered by a resident of the house when he went to toilet around 5 am. Out of fear he informed the family members about the scene. Soon the information got circulated in the entire village. Villagers were conquered by fear and panic attack.

Finally, the forest department was informed of the presence of this 4 feet long crocodile in the toilet of a house. Forest department arrived to the area of panic within no time. The team of the department rescued the crocodile and left it in a nearby pond that is its natural habitat.

It is suspected that the crocodile might have come out from a nearby pond, which reportedly possesses a good population of crocodiles. The backyard of the area, Vandevad talav lacks any kind of protection wall or boundary, so it is common for the crocodiles to sneak out from pond to nearby places. 

Villagers are used of sighting crocodiles that are frequenty found roaming in the area due to presence of a nearby pond. However these animals have never harmed any individual till date. It is the first instance of the village in a crocodile entered the premises of a house.

"At 9:00 am we got a call that a crocodile had entered the toilet of Udesing Rathod's house in Kharakua area of Sojitraka. Anand's special forest team reached the spot as soon as the call came. Within about 15-20 minutes, the crocodile was rescued and left in the pond," said Deputy Officer, Conservation of Forest Namrata D. Italian to AajTak.
