The life-sized croc was created by a local artist named Baadal Nanjundaswamy, who wanted to protest a giant pot hole that has not been fixed in the northern part of the city for days. On Thursday, he painted the area around his crocodile to look like a pond.

"Everyone has the potential to express themselves in his or her own way. This is my way of communicating a grievance," the artist told The Indian Express.
The 36-year-old tagged local city officials and the police to the images that he posted on social media. The pothole was covered up today, reports ABP news.
The area has remained with several potholes, however the authorities have never taken any initiative, the activist said on social media. Photo taken from NDTV
