| Note on the strange behaviour of a Marsh Crocodile (Crocodylus Palustris) | |
| 1986 Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society (83): 220-221 | |
On 3rd of June, 1986, I was at the Raj Bagh Lake in Ranthambore National Park observing the activity around a female sambar kill of a tiger on the edge of the lake. The kill was half eaten and vultures were already on it. Around 2.00 p.m a crocodile came out of the water, went to the dead sambar and after a spell of inactivity, took three bites out of it. Soon this crocodile was followed by another who settled down near the kill on the opposite side. The first returned to the water and so did the second without eating anything. |
