Five-foot crocodile found ‘resting’ in bathroom
A five-foot crocodile recently managed to make its way to a residential area in the state of Uttarakhand, where it entered a house and left residents shocked. A video that is being widely viewed on social media shows the huge reptile inside a bathroom in the city of Sitarganj, where its presence led to panicked reactions from onlookers.
The reptile was reportedly found inside the bathroom of a house situated on Sidcul Bypass Road in Sitarganj on Saturday.
The family which discovered the crocodile inside their bathroom panicked and began shouting on seeing it, which attracted neighbours to their place. A crowd soon gathered at the spot and tried to drive the reptile away, but their efforts proved to be in vain and the unwelcome guest refused to budge.
A video filmed at the scene shows the crocodile resting calmly next to two buckets of water inside the bathroom.
After the crowd of onlookers proved to be unsuccessful in driving the crocodile away, the forest department was contacted to help remove it. A team from the forest department then reached the spot to safely remove the reptile and released it into the Surai Forest.
The presence of the crocodile was attributed to heavy rainfall during the monsoon season, which often leads to overflowing rivers.

Texas woman’s tongue is the world’s widest at 3.11 inches
A Texas woman was awarded a Guinness World Records title for the surprising contents of her mouth – a 3.11-inch-wide tongue.
Brittany Lacayo told the record-keeping organization she decided to apply for the title after learning about the former record-holder, Emily Schlenker, whose tongue measured 2.89 inches wide.
Lacayo’s tongue is exactly as wide as the average length of an adult woman’s tongue: 3.11 inches.
Her tongue actually is wider than it is long when measured from the epiglottis, the flap of cartilage located behind the tongue.
“It is neat and kind of funny,” Lacayo told Guinness World Records.
The male version of the record belongs to American Brian Thompson, whose tongue measures 3.49 inches wide.
