Crocodylus palustris
Ranganathittu
Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, Canon EF 70-200 f2.8 L IS II USM lens, EF 2xII TC at 222 mm, f7.1, 1/40, full frame image
The croc is not bothered by the bird droppings on it. It remains motionless for a long time with only the eye lid opening and closing to see when anything comes close by. When time comes it is swift enough to grab a chick that falls from the tree. I wanted to show the bird droppings on this muggers face. It was aware of my close approach and hence the open eye.
Cheers,
