Crocodile shakes up daily life in Kurla

A marsh crocodile turning up in Kurla’s Ambedkar Nagar Pond has left the neighborhood buzzing—and a bit on edge. With no forests or big lakes nearby, locals were shocked to see the 2.5-foot reptile, and some even tried to chase it off with stones. Wildlife volunteers quickly stepped in, rescuing the stressed animal and urging everyone to keep their distance. This surprise visit is a wake-up call: as cities grow and wetlands shrink, wild animals are getting pushed into our spaces. How should we balance safety and compassion when wildlife shows up in our backyard? #Pets #Kurla #Wildlife
