Mugger Crocodile

First strike
The name "mugger" is a borrowing of magar, the Hindi word for "crocodile". This is in turn derived from makara, a Sanskrit name for a mythical water monster that is sometimes depicted as a crocodile. Mugger crocodiles are a freshwater species found in lakes, rivers and marshes. Muggers prefer slow-moving, shallower bodies of water rather than fast-flowing, deep areas.
