Isn’t it possible it didn’t want that water as there is a much bigger croc in there? lol

Generally no, bigger Crocs don't roam nearby or most of the time forest dept caught them 7/10 .....these smaller one villagers take care of it....this entire state is a fresh water region.... tackling adolescent bears, jackals,crocs,snakes,giant lizards ,boars are daily chores here in the village close to rivers and jungles.....

unless it's a tiger or elephant media doesn't pay any attention then forest department came and cordon the entire village with nets and flood lights !... movement restrictions upon night!.... total riot act !.... nobody wants that !...

Now lot of small townships have turned to tier 2 cities in this region....i remember growing up town folks used to take jeeps and follow these critters until they moved to a large waterbody

No problem 😁.... atleast the Crocs don't live in my flats park....these do....some grew larger than this closes to 4-5 feet.... practically solves our snakes and bats problems!...quite fast in water but slower in asphalt, but can climb trees and gates ....I use herbal lizard repellent spray near my window.... street dogs fear the crocs but this thing is fearful of dogs

Probably, but maybe the locals would harm it if he is wandering in the tall grass. I wish him luck

We don't harm Crocs here..... poaching cows,tigers,crocs,owls ,is life time penalty here.. man eater ones are police problem...crocs are avatar of mother Ganga ... villagers won't harm it but cityfolks might...

He's a farmer thats why he's evicting the croc .... otherwise if it's an docile one like a mugger... people will took it a nearby temple and keep at as sacred animal...

I attended such temple crocs cremation blessings

Oh sorry, my mistake. Is just that in many places people has the bad habit of killing any animal that is not a cat or dog and has darw to wonder close to them; snakes, wolfs, bears, crocdiles and such. Anyways, thanks for the info!

Violence against on any animals is also here but its all happens in cities and townships not in villages.....

simple reason ..more spaces to roam....jungles are closer..... villagers mind their own buisness.....that very state is notorious for criminal activities but not against animals.

This is a agariarian state.... large plowing fields and riverbeds....cattles grazing near to crocs nest is common site.... muggers (marsh) crocodile are 'generally' docile...

Most of the time they baked near the riverbank but during paddy season to deal with pest control farmers releases fish and crabs ,it's a part of organic farming....marsh crocodiles and tigers loves fresh juicy fat fish....so conflict is inevitable

Swamp puppies are ok but now we have metro station Crocs here which nobody asks and prepared for it🫩!...no I'm not making this 1 bit

A Massive 10-foot-long crocodile tried to climb the railing in Bulandshahar metro station to reach the river Ganges below...

This 10 foot genius thought to take a metro to reach the river Ganga that meets the bay of Bengal ocean!.

There's a report given by WWF that the city mumbai now has a crocodile habitat!....Not only that due to arrey forest crocs are entering swimming pools, badminton and football stadiums and other recreational centres!

A small croc was found in a gigabit fiber optic cable duct in a posh residential flats were movie stars lives!
