7‑Foot Crocodile Found in Gujarat Home Bathroom
A family in Gujarat, India, woke up at night when their dogs were barking.
They went to the bathroom and saw a huge 7‑foot crocodile inside!
The family called the forest department, and a rescue team came.
The team carefully caught the crocodile and released it into a pond.
This happened because heavy rains during the monsoon season make rivers and ponds rise, letting crocodiles wander into homes.
A 7‑foot crocodile was discovered in the bathroom of Balabhai Chauhan’s house in Anand district, Gujarat.
The family was awakened by barking dogs and found the reptile at night.
Forest department guards and Daya Foundation volunteers rescued the animal without injury.
The crocodile was released into a nearby pond after the operation.
Monsoon rains raise water levels, encouraging crocodiles to move into residential areas.
