[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
What can crocodile day dreams be made of? Life in the Madras Zoo is easy, but the wild must whisper to them in dreams of endless streams, lakes, marshes, and rivers. They can feel the silent water, as they drift, alert, only eyes above water, silent, waiting for the prey to be foolish and then dead in a moment. They drown the animal, rolling and twisting under water, drowning the creature, with their strong grip. Mugger or Marsh corocodiles, Crocodylus Palustris, are habitate rivers, lakes and marshes, of Nepal, Srilanka, India, Pakistan, all the way westward to southern Iran.

Hello Gloria!
Lovely capture.I liked POV,framing and composition a lot.TFS...:-)

Hi Gloria,
These are amazing creatures! It is like looking back a to the time of the dinosaur. All they do is eat, sleep, and breed.
Amazing how they have survied virtually unchanged.
