Mugger Crocodile

The mugger crocodile, also known as the marsh crocodile and mugger, is a medium-sized broad-snouted crocodile. It is a native of freshwater ecosystems, including marshes, lakes, rivers, and man-made ponds, from southern Iran to the Indian subcontinent. It is a strong swimmer and rarely grows longer than 5 m (16 ft 5 in), but during the hot season, it also wanders on land to find suitable water bodies.

From the gharial to the saltwater crocodile, Asia is home to a wide variety of crocodile species. Crocodylus palutris, also known as the mugger crocodile, is one of Asia's deadliest predators.

The gharial, or fish-eating crocodile, Gavialis gangeticus, which is found on the Indian subcontinent, is another deadly species. The gharial, which may grow to a length of 6.2 m (11 ft), is the longest crocodile. The gharial travels at a speed of 24 km/h (15 mph) and eats fish, crabs, and amphibians. However, if disturbed, it can also attack people. In the image shown, a gharial is visible. The mugger Crocodile is one of the most dangerous animals in Aisa.
