mugger crocodile

Crocodylus palustris

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). http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/crocodil...

Notes:

Spotted this mugger croc skull in a tree next to a "tank". How did it get there? Human hands.
