Field Notes

Habitat:

"The Mugger crocodile is a freshwater species that prefers slow-moving waters. It is commonly found in shallow parts of marshes, lakes and rivers. In India and Sri Lanka, the crocodiles are also taking advantage of man-made bodies of water such as irrigation canals and reservoirs" (aquaticcommunity, 2009).
