U
will be happy to know that Nature Club Surat have rescued a big size wild
Crocodile from the Hazira industrial and campus of Kribhco on 4th September
2007, it was spotted by the employee of the Kribhco when they were doing their
annual maintenance cleaning of water treatment plant, it was a underground tank
with a protection wall of almost 2ft, tank was almost 20ft wide 50ft long and
15ft deep with the water/mud/sand of almost 3ft in it. 
in flood of last year 2006 when the water level in the area was 5ft, matter of
question is did the crock survive for one yr in the tank and no body noticed it,
well on checkup of crock was healthy, and approx estimated age was 2.5 to 3
years, as according the records last crock was spotted in 82 and then it was
believed to extinct from river Tapi and one baby was rescued in the year 2004 by
members in Kadod village which is also on river bank of Tapi, other croc was
rescued in in the year 2007 at Chapprabhatha area of surat city, after this
flood of 2006 call and sighting of crock are increasing as this is the second
crock after flood this resemble the our river still have the remote population
of crock which was not reported till date, so friends cheer up as the crock r
there and still they r conserved in the own home river Tapi and as due to public
awareness when ever people see them report us so that we can move them from
human habitat to a safer place name of our volunteer who did this operation are
Jigar, Hiren, Ram, Amit, Pranav, Goldy, Nilesh, Jimi, Daxesh, Dikansh, Brijesh.
