A nice picturesque scene. But the tiny rock in the center is a Mugger Crocodile.

The mugger crocodile is a skilled predator that preys on a variety of species. Like other crocodiles they are ambush hunters and wait for their prey to come close. They wait camouflaged in the murky waters to launch the attack in the suitable moment. Chitwan Nature Reserve.

Chitwan National Park. Nepal.

Chitwan National Park is the Homeland of the Tharu people who are the original tribe of this region. They have their own language, culture and traditional beliefs. They were the only inhabitants of Chitwan up until the late 1950s. The Tharu were famous for their ability to survive in the most malarial parts of the Terai that were deadly to outsiders. It has been said that a mixture of spicy food and strong alcohol would kill the mosquito if it bit them.
