crocodiles near a busy river have installed unusual warning signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far in 2022, the hungry reptiles have killed three people in the Kali River in Dandeli, India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an effort to put an end to the horror, the local government decided against removing the beasts and instead installed new warning signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visitors will be warned not to feed the crocs, not to take their children near the water&#8217;s edge, and not to swim at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a Haliyal Forest Division official, &#8220;aside from tourists, several devotees come to Haliyal.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The signs will warn people about the potential presence of crocodiles in the area.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to experts, the recent croc attacks are the result of recent river work that has partially destroyed their natural habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On June 9, Ilham, 49, was dropping off local tourists when he suffered a flat tyre and got his hands dirty changing the wheel at the Sinka Zoo in West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ilham reached into a nearby pool, oil on his palms, to wash away the dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a crocodile leapt from the water and sank its teeth into his elbow, he screamed in agony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second beast then appeared and grabbed his arm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authorities attempting to reduce the number of
