Illegal fishing causes havoc on our riverine ecosystem. This short film "Entangled" graphically depicts one of the sad impact of fishing when a adult marsh crocodile was found entangled in a fishing net with its snout tightly tied up in a fishing net in Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, India. This was filmed during IndiaWilds meet on 6th July 2012 at Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, India. Ranganathittu being a bird sanctuary, fishing is not legal. The exact location where this marsh crocodile (Crocodylus palustris) got entangled in the net is not known. Cinematography, Editing, Direction: Sabyasachi Patra
