Mugger crocodile

Crocodylians being poikilotherms, are of interest because of their massive sizes, and how they respond to situations where behavioural thermal selection varies. The purpose of this study was to examine Tb trends in Crocodylus palustris, with respect to post-feeding, the impact of enclosure maintenance, how visitor numbers affected Tb, and variability within and between animals. The three subject animals comprised a group of 31 crocodiles, held in a natural pond.
