Viral Heroics – Youths Rescue Crocodile from Residential Area
One viral video has caught the internet’s attention. It features two brave young men transporting a crocodile on a scooter to the forest department’s office. The crocodile, which had emerged from the Vishwamitri River, ended up in a residential area. These youths, instead of waiting for help, took on the responsibility of rescuing the reptile. In the video, the driver steers the scooter, while his companion holds the crocodile on his lap, a sight that has left viewers in awe.
Netizens React
As the video circulated on social media, netizens applauded the courage of these youths. One user humorously remarked, “New meaning to ‘riding with a beast.'” Another commented, “The crocodile must be thinking how he ended up with hunters instead of being the hunter!”
