New Delhi(The Uttam Hindu):UP man carries 20-foot, 150-kg crocodile on his shoulders to safety, video stuns internet!A jaw-dropping video of a young man carrying a massive 20-foot, 150-kg live crocodile on his shoulders in Uttar Pradesh’s Hamirpur district has taken social media by storm. The crocodile, securely tied, was being transported for relocation, leaving viewers wondering: Who is this man, and why was he handling a live crocodile in such a daring manner?

According to forest department officials, the crocodile had been spotted last month in a pond in Pauthiyakhurd village, causing panic among the locals. The fearsome reptile led villagers to avoid the pond entirely, refraining from bathing or even venturing near it. Alarmed by the situation, residents reported the sighting to the forest department.

For several days, the forest department team, with the support of local villagers, worked persistently to capture the massive reptile. After considerable effort, they successfully subdued the crocodile.

The man in the viral video, an employee of the forest department, took on the task of transporting the crocodile. He carried the enormous creature on his shoulders to the Yamuna River, where it was safely released back into its natural habitat.
