Hello everybody,
I believe there are salt water crocodiles living along the sea, not very far from Mumbai.
Is it true? has anyone of you seen / heard about them?
I have visited a gharial sanctury close by, but the salt water crocodile sounds interesting.

I have heard about crocs in/ around Mumbai, though I never saw a single one during my one year stay in that city... but then I wasn't looking!
Incidentally, my grandpa-in-law had quite a few crocs to his credit, but those were all in/ around the Chambal (Raj/MP). The old man rated them as better game than many of his big cat outings...
Cheers!

Shamsher,
Who so ever told you this was not fibbing for sure. I would like you to part with some more info before I reveal anything on the Estuarian Crocs around Mumbai
