Veterinary advisor Karam Mostafa debunked studies {that a} crocodile had been sighted within the Ausim space of Giza on Sunday, explaining that the sighting is definitely of a “Nile monitor”.
During a cellphone name with the privately-owned Sada al-Balad channel, Mostafa confirmed that the Nile monitor is a sort of reptile that doesn’t pose a hazard to people.
He continued that it could possibly swallow a rabbit or any small animal, and is a uncommon animal in residential areas, being extra generally present in deserts and close to lakes and seas.
Mostafa harassed that the monitor lizard is a creature that lives in humid locations and feeds on useless animals, particularly on agricultural roads.
“The animal is peaceful and harmless to humans,” he assured.
