The Shanghai police have responded, confirming the matter and saying that they are still in the process of arrest. A crocodile that was seventy or eighty centimeters long appeared in the Huangpu River. I still heard about it. It is unknown whether it belongs to the Yangtze crocod

A crocodile that was seventy or eighty centimeters long appeared in

river . I still heard about it. It is unknown whether it belongs to Yangtze crocodile , Nile crocodile , American crocodile or other crocodiles. I hope it is not a very ferocious "people-eating crocodile" such as the extremely ferocious Bay Crocodile, Nile Crocodile, Crocodile, , etc.!

So how could a crocodile appear in the Huangpu River, which is the river inward of , ? I think the statement "human factor" is more credible and feasible. The so-called "human factors" are nothing more than two aspects:

One is artificial stocking: many people nowadays, regardless of whether they truly believe in Buddhism? I always like to release some aquatic animals in rivers in parks or ancient towns on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. At first, it was limited to small fish and shrimps, and later there were turtles turtles and snakes ! Little did they know that foreign Brazilian turtles would eat small fish and shrimps in the river, thus destroying the ecological balance; tourists in a park in Beijing were bitten by poisonous snakes and , which were released by two citizens who were releasing animals for blessings! There are also scavenger fish and crocodile gar that destroy the ecology and are water animals that are strictly prohibited from releasing! Therefore, if this crocodile is a released animal, then this will cause unpredictable danger to tourists staying on the water-friendly platform along the Xuhui Riverside! Fortunately, Shanghai is getting colder now, otherwise it will be a huge threat to children who go into the water to play!

Another may be caused by artificial feedlots. It is said that there are several crocodile farms in , , suburbs of Shanghai! So, is it because typhoon passed through the border a few days ago and was neglected in management and the breeding crocodile took the opportunity to escape? If this guess is true, then how many crocodiles are running away? There are no relevant reports yet.

For the above two guesses, I prefer the first one: artificial release. So, in response to this possibility, a few words: Release animals is a good thing for people to be kind to the Buddha and seek blessings! But there are some good things in life. If you do not operate properly and carelessly, good things will turn into bad things! Even good intentions become bad intentions! For example, releasing crocodiles has the possibility of being good in the original intention, but the consequences now are to cause public doubts and panic, and to waste public resources in society to patrol and round up! Maybe it will cause personal injury! Therefore, for everyone, you have to think twice about everything! For animals that release animals, it is necessary to remember that releasing animals is risky and you must choose with caution!

I hope to search for this crocodile visiting the Huangpu River as soon as possible and give me peace to the mother river.
