60 & counting: Croc nesting sites grow in Bhitarkanika [1]

Wildlife personnel in Bhitarkanika National Park in Odisha have spotted 60 nesting sites of estuarine crocodiles, officials said.

The figure on the number of nests may increase as the counting process of estuarine nests will go on since the breeding season is not over.

Last year, 57 nesting sites had been spotted.
