to preserve and increase the dwindling
number of crocodiles in India .The Bank
has managed to do more than that as it
has increased a substantial number of
crocodiles in the country. There are about
seven specie of crocodiles. There are
the Indian and African varieties of crocodile.

The Crocodiles and alligators can be watched
all through the year as there is no particular
time for visit.

huge source for anti venom in the country.
The importance of crocodiles in the eco
system is great. They are predators and
