Crocodile in Noakhali !!!
A freshwater crocodile descendant of famous Kala Pahar and Dhola Pahar of Bagerhat shrine is hiding in a remote village Charhajari of Companygonj under Noakhali district. Mushtaq Ahmed in his recent visit to Basurhat came to know about the existence of the lone crocodile and found it there. It is an 8-9 feet long female fresh water crocodile, confined in a 30X20 feet pond. The pond does have a protection boundary wall, which is 5 feet high in two sides and eight feet high on the other two sides. The crocodile seemed to be overfed, thus suffering from obesity. There is very little land space for the crocodile to walk around.
The villagers informed Mushtaq that about 15-20 years back some one brought two baby crocodiles and only one is left. The remaining crocodile was named Rupa and it lays eggs every year during March.
As we know Kala Pahar and Dhola Pahar died couple of years back and our freshwater crocodiles got extinct from the natural habitat, this particular female freshwater crocodile should be taken back to Bagerhat Shrine, where it was born and left with the other crocodiles that were imported from India.
