The Mugger Crocodile is a large reptile found mainly in the freshwater habitats of the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia. Known for its broad snout and powerful jaws, this crocodile can grow up to 13 feet long. It prefers rivers, lakes, and marshes, where it often basks in the sun or lurks in the water, waiting for prey.
These crocodiles are opportunistic feeders, primarily eating fish, birds, and small mammals. Unlike some other crocodile species, the Mugger Crocodile is known for its aggressive behavior, especially during the breeding season. Conservation efforts are important to protect their habitats and ensure their survival.
