Dangmal, Bhitarkanika National Park

At Bhitarkanika National Park we hired a private boat for a cruise over the river. The Government boats were not available for one or other common reasons like they have already have been booked or they under maintenance.



We first got down from the bot at Dangmal and followed the guide along a winding trail. Here there is a conservation center that houses a few crocodiles born and bred in captivity.



On the mud banks of the river we spotted many red fiddler crabs and skipper fish.

Aren't fiddler crabs funny the way they have one big claw that they keep raised up in the air?

Couldn't have imagined that crocodiles are bred in bottles. This is amazing!
