A crocodile that was gasping for breath after it got caught in fishing nets was rescued by some youth in Karadaga village of Belagavi district on Thursday.
Some youth who had gone fishing in the Doodh Ganga were surprised to find the crocodile in their nets. It had got entangled in the plastic wires and it was finding it difficult to breath as some wires had nearly closed its nostrils.
However, the youth feared for their life too. First, they tied it to a tree. Then, they cut out the wires and tied a towel across the crocodile’s mouth.
