A five-foot crocodile recently managed to make its way to a residential area in the state of Uttarakhand, where it entered a house and left residents shocked. A video that is being widely viewed on social media shows the huge reptile inside a bathroom in the city of Sitarganj, where its presence led to panicked reactions from onlookers.
The reptile was reportedly found inside the bathroom of a house situated on Sidcul Bypass Road in Sitarganj on Saturday.
The family which discovered the crocodile inside their bathroom panicked and began shouting on seeing it, which attracted neighbours to their place. A crowd soon gathered at the spot and tried to drive the reptile away, but their efforts proved to be in vain and the unwelcome guest refused to budge.
A video filmed at the scene shows the crocodile resting calmly next to two buckets of water inside the bathroom.
After the crowd of onlookers proved to be unsuccessful in driving the crocodile away, the forest department was contacted to help remove it. A team from the forest department then reached the spot to safely remove the reptile and released it into the Surai Forest.
The presence of the crocodile was attributed to heavy rainfall during the monsoon season, which often leads to overflowing rivers.
An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
