A crocodile was removed after being found lurking inside a villager's hut in Thathampettai, Tamil Nadu.

Footage filmed by Vivek on November 19 shows the reptile lying inside a resident's home. A woman shouted for help after spotting the croc.

The local police force and forest rescue team were called to the scene and caught the reptile before releasing it into a nearby forest.

Location : Cuddalore Tamilnadu India

Thathampettai is a tiny village that is located near a water body in Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu. Monsoon  lashed the entire Tamil Nadu with its heavy rains. Water Bodies were brimming with rain water. As a result reptiles such as crocodiles and snakes often used to visit the human habitations in search of food. 

One such incident is that a crocodile entered a tiny village. It was first seen by a woman who got scared and shouted for help. On hearing the cries the crocodile went inside a hut and found a safe hiding place. Later the villagers ran to help her and they informed the local police station. 

They rushed to the spot and protected villagers from getting near the crocodile and called the forest persons for the rescue of the crocodile. The forest staff rushed to the spot, caught the crocodile with the help of the villagers and took it to a dense forest and left the crocodile in the water body that was inside the forest.

That night and the crocodile gave a worst nightmare to the villagers. A sigh of relief can be seen on their faces only after the crocodile is taken from their village..
