Description of the event

This event took place near a river in the Kendrapara area, known for its high concentration of crocodiles and its status as a sensitive wildlife zone. In the video, one of the monkeys, approaching the water, became a target for the crocodile, which tried to pull it underwater.

Troop reaction
