Explanation:
The huge crocodile lived in the deep black water. He was twice the length of a tall man. He did not have to hide. He came to rest in the glassy shallows, among logs with his eyes and nostrils raised above the water to breathe the clean sunny air. His tail had irresistible power to move with a vast force in the water. His mouth ran almost the whole length of its head.
When he came out of his egg by breaking his shell, he was a tiny creature that could be hunted by a bird or by a great carnivorous fish that eats baby crocodiles. He ate whatever he could and fended for himself. Now, he was capable of hunting and eating everything which came within his reach—fish, ducks, deer, monkeys, dogs and thin cows. Sometimes his hunger forced him to go down the burning ghats where he could find half-burnt bodies of Indians cast into the stream. He had no scarcity of food and thus was prospering well.
The mugger crocodile, blackish-brown above and yellowy-white under, laid motionless able to wait forever till food came. The body of the crocodile was covered with an inch-thick hide that nothing could pierce—even rifle bullets would bounce off. Only the eyes and the soft underarms were exceptions. It was ferocious and formidable. It propelled in the water by the irresistible and unimaginable power of its tail. It lived well with other crocodiles, muggers and fish-eating gharials.
