Crocodile Wanders into Gadwal Residential Area
One night in Gadwal, a crocodile showed up right outside someone's house!
A railway worker saw it when he went outside.
The local people quickly tied it up with ropes and called the forest officers.
The officers then took the crocodile back to the Krishna river, where it belongs.
The forest people said that crocodiles sometimes travel long distances, looking for food or a place to lay their eggs.
They think this crocodile might have gotten lost because it's not normal for them to be in neighborhoods.
A crocodile was found near a house in a residential area of Gadwal town.
The reptile was spotted around 1:30 AM by a local railway employee.
Local residents secured the crocodile with ropes and alerted forest officials.
Forest officials released the crocodile back into the Krishna river.
Officials believe the crocodile may have lost its way, as it's unusual for them to enter residential areas.
