Following last month’s crocodile sighting in the Mithi River near BKC, residents of Versova have now reported spotting an Indian Marsh Crocodile in the creek near Versova village. Though no photographic or video evidence has been captured to confirm the claim, wildlife conservation experts consider the sighting plausible and unsurprising.

Madnesh Magederan, a Versova village resident and animal enthusiast said, “A few days ago, I heard about a crocodile being spotted in the creek near Shiv Gully. About a week later, I personally saw a juvenile crocodile, roughly two feet long, at the same location. Unfortunately, before I could take a photo, it disappeared into the water. During a previous sighting, some individuals reportedly threw stones at the animal.”
