Another favourite inmate of Ranganathittu basks on the banks baring fangs in eager anticipation of a tasty morsel of breakfast that might drop unwittingly from the tree (owing to a failed attempt to fly, perhaps). Till then, this Marsh Crocodile chooses to display both his supreme patience and gleamy whites -- both equally strong.
