World Croc Day on the 17th of June, is a day devoted to crocodiles. I have put together some photographs and timelapse videos of our surveys in Corbett Tiger Reserve over the past few years in celebrating World Croc Day at Corbett.
Featuring the diminutive gharial, the aggressive mugger and some of the awesome landscapes I do hope that you like this small collection of Corbett's aquatic denizens.

It was perhaps for the first time ever that camera traps were used as a part of estimating a gharial population. Catch one of our time lapse camera trap videos of an adult male gharial and a large mugger at Dhikala in Corbett.

Put through quite a lot of rough use the work horse of the surveys is Corbett is our 12 foot Porta - Bote which runs on an electric engine helping us achieve a low - carbon footprint on our surveys in Corbett.
