Author:

Seven crocodiles escaped from a farmhouse in Steel Town of Karachi on Friday. Police force traced and captured five of the crocodiles with the help of the Wildlife Department staff, while remaining two are still at large, department officials said. The farmhouse management called police and other government departments concerned for help after the incident in order to trace and return back the fleeing crocs.

“All crocodiles were present at the farmhouse. They fled the animal home after a wall of the premises collapsed during rainfall this morning,” the management of the farmhouse near Steel Town filter plant told the police. According to police officials, two crocodiles are still untraced as rainwater was accumulated in various places in the area after the rainfall. No reports were received about the crocodiles injuring any person, police said.

Crocodiles and other animals are kept at several privately owned farmhouses and zoos across Karachi. Several owners even fail to get issued a permit from the government department concerned to keep the animals with them. The port city also has an ancient crocodile shrine, Mangho Pir, popular for its crocodile population.

Mangho Pir is home to over 100 crocodiles that waddle between the devotees near a swampy green pond where they have lived for generations.
