In Shivpuri, we went for boating in the Sakhya Sagar lake which is one of the important support system in the Madhav National Park. It is situated on the edge of forests of Madhav National Park. The lake is habitat of variety of reptiles. Species that can be seen here are marsh or mugger crocodile, Indian python and the monitor lizard.
While boating here our boatman showed us the crocodile resting on the rocks in the lake. He stopped the boat nearby for us to click some snaps.

That's a very nice picture. I'm glad that he didin't mind having his picture taken. :)
ReplyDeleteBtw I clicked the picture but the enlarged picture was not the same as this one. (A totally different photo.)
Lovely calm photo.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great shot of a croc!
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge croc!
ReplyDeletethe croc is big one
ReplyDeleteCrocodile!!! It is very dangerous when you are in water...
ReplyDeleteThat was a really big crocodile, I would be afraid when being so near. They are really fast....
ReplyDeleteWow! This is great to have a picture of. Little bit scary..
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter:-)
James : Thanks, I have got it corrected.
ReplyDeleteso cool! That's a huge crocodile, wow! Really neat you saw him!
ReplyDeleteYour lizards are bigger than ours!

Good that you kept your distance. They move quickly when they want to.
ReplyDeleteHi Rajesh! Wow, this one looks huge... ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments to Blogtrotter Two, now departing Miami by air; my Easter egg for you... ;). Have a great weekend!!
I'd be concerned that he might decide to go for a swim and head for the boat!! Cool shot.
ReplyDeleteah cool, i saw alot of these guys when i visited new orleans USA
ReplyDeletegood shot!

Rajesh -- that is a beautiful picture; we love boating too! I think yours looks more peaceful than where we are. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy April calendar picture (made by our grandson and his wife while on their honeymoon in your beautiful country) is of UDAIPUR palace in Rajastan.
Really beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteInteresting catch!
ReplyDeleteHe's looks mean!!! Just joking!!! He's pretty mingled well with the bg... :)
ReplyDeleteTrip to Gorai Beach
Dressing while Camping
Looks quite serene.
ReplyDeleteThe huge crocodile seems to be beautiful although it is dangerous. Good captures as always!
ReplyDeleteThis is one amazing C C entry. I loved viewing it.
ReplyDeleteMine is Easter Rabbits
Have a glorious weekend!
Great shot, Rajesh, as always! Love the crocodile -- at a distance of course! Like the reflections in the water as well! Have a great weekend!

It's always a treat to see your world in your photos...a land I will probably never visit...sad huh...so I'll enjoy your work instead.
ReplyDeleteBeware those great jaws!
ReplyDeleteOne snap and you’re a goner—
crocodile dinner!
Shadowy Toilet!
excellent photo!!
ReplyDeleteThat's close enough for me! Happy Critter Day!
ReplyDeleteHow big was your boat, one wonders! Good shot. Glad you are still alive to show us!
ReplyDeleteI enlarged it! That is one big croc! We have alligators here in Florida -- not nearly so long, but fascinating all the same and they camoflage themselves in the same way as your crocodile -- they're quite hard to spot until you get used to seeing them.
ReplyDeleteYou had a nice boatman to stop for this one.
Hmmm not the best place to go swimming I take it? I love the picture though. He looks pretty tame just sitting there! And I like the wavy reflection as well.
ReplyDeleteLook at those snappers.
ReplyDeleteYay! I hate crocks! Good job.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter.
Lovely shadow shot!
ReplyDeletePlease come and see my fitness shadows, happy easter!
Oh, my.. that's huge! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteAs usual love your imagesxlynda
ReplyDeleteGulp!
ReplyDeletemugger crocodiles, Indian pythons and monitor lizards...glad they are there in the shadows and not with us!!
And that's why I don't go swimming anywhere to the north in our State of Queensland. Much better to sit here and enjoy Mr Croc in your beautiful image.
ReplyDeleteTerrific shot!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a sight to see!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflection shot.
ReplyDeleteMy oh my!! Any of those 3 reptiles you named would be scary to encounter...but the croc is surely the MOST scary shadowy creature. I don't imagine anyone swims in that water (other than the critters)!!
ReplyDeleteHi Rajesh, I was actually looking for the crocodile ... that's very dangerous ... but great shot!
ReplyDeletethanks for dropping by ... followed you on networked blog...

ReplyDeleteHow amazing to be able to get up close to the wildlife.
ReplyDeleteyou were very brave.
ReplyDeleteRajesh: Very cool critter capture sunning on the rocks.
ReplyDeleteCool shot and sighting of the Croc. It is BIG.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I haven't seen crocodiles in India...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect perch of an crocodile. I think I'd keep my distance!
ReplyDeletewow there's one huge croc! i visited croc bank in chennai lately and saw a croc which is said to be the longest in India.
