Mugger warming Mugger Crocodile - commonly found throughout India, they have been documented to grow up to 4.5 m (15 ft) in length. I got an opportunity to click this beautiful Crocodile in the Moyar river, Thengumarahada forest, Tamil Nadu, during 2013 animal census. It was easily 9 - 10 ft in length, and its camouflage made it almost invisible to my eyes at first!
