Vadodara: A 10-foot-long crocodile was rescued by rescuers in Vadodara after it came out of a river and was seen strolling on a road amid rain.
The reptile was captured by a team of wildlife rescuers.
It was then handed over to the forest department.
Many rivers in Gujarat are flooded, leading to crocodiles and other reptiles coming onto the streets.
Meanwhile, a video, published by the PTI shows a crocodile lying on its stomach on a tin roof of a house. The property is surrounded by neck-deep water.
Indistinct-but-excited chatter is also heard off camera.
