Physical restraint

PHYSICAL RESTRAINT

  • Take utmost care in the physical restraint of crocodiles.
  • Use a longer pole with a snare at the end.
  • Carefully catch the crocodile with the snare and bring it to the ground by dragging in water
  • Better to have this near a tree or wooden plank that is strongly grounded vertically.
  • Close the eyes of the crocodile with a gunny bag or thick cloth
  • Experienced persons will immediately hold on the head and tie the mouth with a rubber tube.
  • At the same time, the tail has to be secured and then the legs have to be secured (forelimbs separately and hindlimbs separately)
  • Now, you can undertake the clinical inspection.
