Several regions in Gujarat have lately witnessed a rise in encroachment by animals in residential areas.
In a recent instance, a wild crocodile entered a house during midnight in Gujarat's Vidyanagar.
A family residing in Malataj village, Sojitra Taluka encountered a heavy crocodile in their house.
The family was sleeping at night when the reptile entered their house, located 200 meters away from the village pond.
The family members were in deep sleep and were woken up due to a dog's bark.
They were later stunned to find a crocodile crawling underneath a cot in the house.
They later informed the Forest department who came to their rescue and took the crocodile along. The crocodile was later dropped in a pond.
