The clip was posted on social media platform X with the caption, "The crocodile will also remember the joy of traveling on a two wheeler. Actually, two young men are taking the crocodile that came out of the Vishwamitra river to the forest department office."

The video has garnered 56.6k views with a flurry of comments after it was posted.

Another user wrote, "Crocodiles are also enjoying the human world today."

"BHARAT- The land of the bravest of the brave🇮🇳 Well done bravehearts," commented a third.

Crocs galore

Last week, a crocodile was seen on the roof of a house as rainfall inundated the Akota Stadium area of Vadodara.

In a separate incident, a group of crocodiles was seen dragging what appeared to be a dog amid a flood-like situation in the city.

The video, which was shared widely on social media showed not one but four crocodiles swimming along the Vishwamitri river, with one carrying a dead animal in its mouth.

Vadodara, which witnessed a flood-like situation due to the swelling of the Vishwamitri river, is slowly limping back to normalcy as water has receded in most parts of the city.
