Rishi, could you tell us more about that Sundarban's creature and its role in the delta's ecosystem in the section of crocodiles?:

I'll admit of not knowing much about them. Basically they are not much different any other crocodile species. Usually get 10-15 feet in length, anything beyond that is a rarity..

Although back in 2009, a tiger was rescued that had its back left paw chopped off by a crocodile, probably while it was crossing a channel. FD found it bleeding profusely & sent it to Alipur zoo, Kolkata for treatment. He is now in Khayerbari Rescue Centre.

It took me some time to find the news' photo..
