    Default Hind portion of the massive crocodile

    Abhishek,
    This is a massive crocodile. I think we are happy that we didn't see its side profile in open. At the least may be one of us would have dropped a camera into water.

    I will talk about the length later. Before that, I will treat you with another image showing part of the hind leg. The hind leg image was clicked in the morning and the frontal image showing the teeth was clicked during afternoon. You can think how long the thigh is. It looks like having armour plates.

    The lower jaw is uniformly dark colour. The teeth have been stained due to its age. First we thought that it was due to blood. The teeth has become irregular in size and direction. At the back there are three black teeth.

    PS: I will later shift this to the natural history section with images of various parts of its body.
