The wildlife department thanked a villager named Kirir Khan Sahito for “saving life of this ‘Marsh Crocodile”.
Marsh crocodiles live in Sindh’s Haleji Lake, Nara Wetland Complex, Chotiari Wetland Complex, Wagni Village near Ghotki and Hub Dam.
Since there is no exact tally of the wild crocodile population anywhere in the province, they are believed to be in hundreds. In addition to their wild habitats, marsh crocodiles have also been living in captivity at various places in Sindh, including Sufi Anwer Shah Safari Park and Manghopir shrine of Hazrat Khawaja Hassan.
