يصل طول هذا الوحش المخيف إلى 6-7 متر ويزن حوالي 30 كجم وبما أن البشر يعيشون على ضفاف النيل
لذلك يحدث اصطدام بين التماسيح والبشر ، لن يفرّق التمساح بين إنسان وحيوان لذلك تقتل التماسيح النيلية ما لا يقل عن 3000 شخص سنويا. pic.twitter.com/0WemSEMfTF
Eyewitnesses also confirmed the presence of committees from the Water Bodies Police investigating and being present at the location of the crocodile video to verify it.
On the other hand, a security source confirmed that the entire area where the video was taken and the surrounding areas were combed, and no crocodile has been detected so far.
