Re: On Safari--Be careful of the water!!!

To side track a bit - what is the largest Slatie (Porosus species) recorded in Aussie?

They are now marginalised in India & are common only in the Sundarbans of Bengal. They used to be found in the mangrove swamps of the peninsular south & up the West coast to Kutch (Pakistan?) until the 1960s. The largest recorded in India was about 31 feet long with a skull length of over 7 feet! Today the crocodile banks have the odd one at 20 to 23 feet long. Even the fish eating Gharial has been recoded at over 25 feet long. Romulus Whittaker is the guru of crocs, snakes & reptiles in India.
