Crocodiles appeared to nudge a stray dog to safety when it took refuge in a river.
Scientists are not sure why the crocs didn't just eat the dog, as they were within "striking range."
Scientists studying the reptiles can't make sense of why the crocs didn't just eat the dog.
The pup eventually took refuge in the river Savitri, where three adult mugger crocodiles were floating nearby.
"These crocodiles were actually touching the dog with their snout" the researchers reported in the study adding that the crocodiles "seemingly nudged and escorted [the dog] to safety."
