Along the Vishwamitri river in the western city of Vadodara ... a rare site. Crocodiles. Lining up on the banks... taking in the sun. Crocs have come out from the river's tributary before but no one seems to know why SO MANY have suddenly appeared. (SOUNDBITE) (Hindi) A LOCAL RESIDENT, ZAIBSI PATEL, SAYING: "It is not even raining right now but still these crocodiles are coming. We just cannot find out (why)." (SOUNDBITE) (Hindi) ANOTHER LOCAL RESIDENT, VIKAS PARMAR, SAYING: "We cannot even see these many at the zoo which has only one or two crocodiles." Some species of crocodiles are seriously endangered here. Hunting is one reason. But habitat loss is the main culprit -- as development forces the animals to stray into human settlements. So far humans and crocs seem content to live peacefully side by side...although locals are treading more carefully than usual.
