A massive 6-foot-long Estuarine crocodile caught in Kendrapara in a farmland. The crocodile got caught in a fishing net that had been set up on an agricultural land.
Reports say that, a man had placed a net in his agricultural field in Brahmani-Kohla village, under the Rajnagar block of Kendrapara district of Odisha.
Locals were terrified when they spotted the massive crocodile in the net this morning. Upon receiving the information, the Forest Department arrived at the scene and rescued the reptile.
It is believed that the crocodile had ventured into the farmland in search of fish. Crocodile sightings and their presence have been on the rise in the Rajnagar area.
The reptiles frequently enter village canals and private ponds, causing panic among the residents. People are frightened by the presence of the crocodile in the farmland. As the agricultural fields are waterlogged, people are afraid to enter them after spotting a crocodile.
