Three species of crocodilian are present in India. The mugger (or marsh) crocodile (Crocodylus palustris) is found in lakes and rivers throughout the country.[1][2] The saltwater crocodile (C. porosus) is found along the eastern coast of the country and the Nicobar and Andaman Islands.[1] The gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) is found in river areas, though is greatly reduced from its previous range. In the pre-historic period, seven species resided in India.
