Nice to see a baby croc. Giving a slight -ve EC would have have been good, as the light looks a bit harsh. Also if possible moving a bit more to the left would have enhanced the eye contact further. Thanks for sharing.

Where was this clicked? Light was a bit harsh. This is a top predator in our river waters. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

The colour of a baby Estuarine Crocodile(say,2.5-3.5 ft long) is perfect yellow.Small black dots become clearly visible on the boby a little later.The baby Marsh Crocobile I saw about three decades back in Simlipal.That was B/W era.I could not remember its colour.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild
