Mugger Crocodile
The Mugger is a medium-sized crocodile (maximum length
4-5 m), and has the broadest snout of any living member of
the Crocodile family. It is mainly restricted to the Indian
subcontinent where it may be found in a number of freshwater
habitat types including rivers, lakes and marshes. In India,
Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Iran, it has adapted well to
reservoirs, irrigation canals and man-made ponds. The Mugger
can even be found in coastal saltwater lagoons and estuaries.
