Explanation:

Muggers or marsh crocodiles (Crocodylus palustris) are freshwater crocodiles. They are found all over south Asia and South-eastern Iran. In India, they are found more in middle Ganges Basin and Chambal Basins.

Recently, over 350 mugger crocodiles in Rajasthan’s Jawai dam, are struggling to survive due to extreme and early heat in the months of March and April. The Indian Railways has been delivering water to Western Rajasthan as several water bodies dried up. Jawai River is a tributary of Luni River.
