Biodiversity of Sri Lanka - Crocodiles The looped trachaea is a distinctive feature of the genus Crocodylus which is of African origin, and the presence of salt-excreting glands in the tongue points to the ability of crocodiles for transoceanic dispersal. Of the 14 species of crocodiles extant, two occur in Sri Lanka: (a) freshwater (‘freshy’) or marsh or mugger crocodile Crocodylus palustris, and (b) saltwater (‘salty’) or estuarine crocodile C. porosus. It is possible that the two crocodiles observed in Mannar were salties (Crocodylus porosus), for it is unlikely that the freshy would survive in Mannar once the water holes become bone dry in the peak of the dry season. www.manrecap.com /japanese/crocodiles.html   (2946 words)
