Goa's Crocodile Watching - One remarkable fact about the Watching Crocodile in Goa is that they are actually muggers or freshwater crocodiles who have accustomed themselves to the saline mangrove ecosystem.

These muggers or crocodiles are pretty innocuous unlike their salt water cousins who often prey on livestock and human beings. Though crocodiles are not hunted in Goa, yet often crocodiles have been found dead.

The reason of their death can be traced back to them being entrapped in the fishing nets.

Stray crocodiles have been spotted at Chorao, Tivim, Siolim and Carambolim. The Syngenta freshwater lakes at Corlim have a
small number of 13 crocodiles thriving.

Southern Birdwing, a wildlife group closely monitors the movements of the muggers, a part of the Goa Forest Department's Wildlife Rescue Squad have been involved in the rescue of 38 crocodiles.

They also take tourists 'croc-spotting' to the Cumbarjua in a boat. Though crocodiles are not hunted but around 2-3 crocodiles are spotted dead each year their lengths ranging from 1.3-2 metres.

They are accidentally trapped in fishing nets and probably drowned and killed though one case of poaching has been detected at Belloy, Nuvem.
