Crocodile lays eggs at Khan Jahan Ali shrine

BAGERHAT, Apr 27 (BSS): A female crocodile in a pond at the shrine of Hazrat Khan Jahan Ali (R) in Bagerhat has laid eggs.

The crocodile laid around 50-60 eggs, about a month ago. "The crocodile has been basking in the scorching heat of the Sun and laid its eggs near house of Bina Fakir on the east bank of the Dighi. It came to our knowledge just a few days ago," said Shar Ali Fakir, head khadem of the shrine.

However, there are concern about whether the eggs will be hatched. Though the mother crocodile laid eggs many times before, no baby hatched from the eggs, he said.
