59 New Baby Crocs at Karomjal

A few of the 59 newborn crocodiles at government-run Karomjal crocodile breeding centre in the Sundarbans. Twenty-seven babies came out of the eggs lain by saltwater crocodile 'Juliet' on Tuesday and 32 others from the eggs of 'Pilpil' yesterday as authorities arranged their hatching under close observation since the giant reptiles laid the eggs in last May.
