Residents of Ezbet al-Sidrah in Belbeis Center, Sharqiya Governorate, reported sighting a large crocodile along the banks of a local drainage canal, prompting urgent calls for authority intervention to ensure public safety.<\/p>\n

A viral video circulating online shows the crocodile emerging from the canal\u2019s embankment as local residents passed by, before returning to the water seconds later.<\/p>\n

Local residents noted that sightings have become increasingly common over recent months, with crocodiles observed both swimming in the canal and basking for minutes at a time.<\/p>\n

Recurring sightings<\/h3>\n

Residents reported witnessing multiple crocodiles simultaneously on previous occasions, both in the water and along the embankments.<\/p>\n

Community members emphasized that this is not an isolated event, noting that authorities successfully captured a crocodile in the area last winter, which was subsequently transferred to an authorized facility.<\/p>\n
