An Indian Marsh Crocodile was spotted in the Powai area of Mumbai late on Sunday night.

Also known as the Mugger Crocodile, the Indian Marsh Crocodile, is found across the Indian subcontinent, including India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, as well as parts of Iran. It thrives in freshwater environments such as rivers, lakes, ponds, and marshes, and can also adapt to man-made reservoirs. Unlike the saltwater crocodile, the mugger avoids saline habitats.
