Giant crocodile strolls through traffic amid heavy rains in western India

A giant crocodile was spotted walking through heavy traffic on a rainy night, causing a stir among onlookers in western India’s Maharashtra.

The incident took place in the Chinch Naka area of Chiplun town, located in Ratnagiri district on June 30.

Visuals showed the massive reptile calmly moving past standing vehicles. Several other vehicles had come to a stop, with passengers seizing the opportunity to record the unusual and dangerous moment.

According to reports, the crocodile likely ventured into the town from the nearby Shiv or Vashishti rivers, displaced by the heavy rains. The steady downpour had likely caused the crocodile to leave its usual habitat and wander into the urban area.

The sight of such a large crocodile in a populated area underscores the impact of heavy rains on wildlife and the potential dangers it poses to residents. Authorities are urging people to remain cautious and report any further sightings to ensure safety.

The video sparked hilarious comments on the internet, with many users expressing concern for the creature.
