- Mangroves are salt tolerant, complex and dynamic eco-systems that occur in tropical and subtropical inter-tidal regions. Bhitarkanika is one such location of rich, lush green vibrant eco-system lying in the estuarine region of Brahmani- Baitarani in the North-Eastern corner of Kendrapara district of Odisha. The area is intersected by a network of creeks with Bay of Bengal on the East. The alley between the meandering creeks and rivers, houses the second largest viable mangrove eco-system of India. Its 672 km². of mangrove forest & wetland, provides home to well over 215 species of birds including winter migrants from central-Asia and Europe. Giant salt water crocodiles and a variety of other wildlife inhabit this eco-system which is one of Asia's most spectacular wildlife sanctuaries.

Attractions
Tourism in Bhitarkanika
Sightseeing is done on boats which have got forest department licenses. Main entrance to the forest is from Khola Gate, even though there is another gate called Gupti gate also. Tourism was almost non-existent here till a few years ago. This trend is changing steadily with efforts on the marketing front by one or two resorts. Odisha Government has shown little enthusiasm in promoting area for tourism. But of late Odisha Tourism is displaying Bhitarkanika as a destination for eco-friendly and rich nature where tourists can enjoy variety of wildlife and birds.. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
My goodness, this Croc is huge! It's hard to believe this creature hatched from an egg!
Asuu
The way that huge dinosaur slowly slithered into the water at the end was sinister! Imagine swimming and that being the last thing you see...
NO!
Well this huge but majestic beast was right under our boat last time I was in Bhitarkanika , I hail from the same state
@@debsworld3784
I trust/hope the boat is a sizable sturdy vessel!
I just saw a T-rex taking sunbath. Holy shit!
Beautiful, majestic crocodile. Glad we have this big one in India. ❤️
not big one largest India
I like india
This one is one of four 20 footers in bhitarkanika , mahishasur is 7.5 meres and he’s the king of the salties in Bhitarkanika he is definitely one of the worlds biggest but Australia is home to some absolute giants aswell.
he looked about 16 ft not 20
Now I want to see a tiger tries to wrestle this beast! 😊
But imma put my bet to this giant croc!
how do you get 20 feet to 7,5 meters???
@@jayannpacilan7504 tiger wouldnt stand a chance
No confirmed measurements. You can say much as 40ft. Lol.
Beautiful tropical mangrove. Croc seems pretty old.
You got that right some of his teeth are already gone
Come on in for a swim. The waters great. Plenty of room. See I'm smiling.
I don’t bite, at least not that hard 😏
ok Cannonball!! 🤗💨
Goofies
The presence of the mighty Saltwater crocodile has its upsides: Wherever the Saltie rules supreme, people needn`t worry about falling prey to the Mugger crocodile.

That is a huge Croc. He looks almost as big as Gustave, hope the filmmakers of this video take much needed precautions. These crocodiles are deadly
Gustave is bigger trust me
@@simonwillis1529 I bet. It’s still one huge crocodile
I’m pretty sure the one in this video is the largest in the world. I know for sure the largest croc in the world that’s known is on this river just not sure if it’s this croc specifically
@@simonwillis1529 he is dead but even then he is shorter than Lolong as the biologist who has tried to capture him.
India is rich in wildlife
Without any doubt india has the most diverse wildlife in the whole world

Hiii
Why don't you live in it
can you go say hi for me. also a hug and a selfie with the crock. thanks
I had a great experience here.
Is Kalia the biggest croc there at around 23ft or if you have seen Mahishasura do you estimate him to be even larger?
Thanks and good job sir
I love India!
I like this video, please save this giant beast in india
THAAATS BIG , REALLY BIG !
Going to bhitarikanika in snakeboat is like calling death as the water has giant saltwater crocodile

Nice!!
Beautiful
I KNOW HIM PERSONALLY......WE USE TO SWIM AND CATCH FISH TOGETHER 😁😁

A real live Indian river monster....wow.

This one isn't Mahishasur but there exists a croc named Mahishasur whose sliding marks in wet sand were 46 inches wide across the belly. He may be one of the largest crocs on earth.
Harsh Singh small
Harsh Singh king

Kalia is bigger than mahisasur.
And it's believed that there are more bigger crocs

Instead of imagining you can take a casual swim
I don’t want to imagine myself getting torn into bits so I’ll try not to imagine it
Imagine watching someone swimming there
The only one who can dare to swim is a Royal Bengal Tiger
HUGE
That is one of the scariest looking open water i've ever seen. Not to mention the creatures on it.

Hey thats my brother ON TV
1:45 - I thought you had actually paused the video as you were zooming in, and were going to do like a Friend's sitcom outro, but then I realized the video wasn't paused and that crocs can just sit motionless for months at a time

This crocodiles deserve a national geographic special. I hope a scientific team could measure them to registre their monster size.
It weights 2000 kg
@@Bluecheese1400 pure speculation.

@@samuraininjarockstar9355 Yes I have heard about kalia in the sunderbans. A real monster. I hope someone could film and meausure him with precisión using telemetry or a drone. I am sure there should be biggest Crocs that lolong
@@tomascastillo4676 in the last 10 years the reports of 6-7 metre Salties have been on a regular basis , when Steve Irwin was studying them in the early 2000s the largest he came across was 17 feet = 5m, but now the Northern Territory has a fair number of 6m individuals, there is a 7m croc in the Roper river and also a 7m croc in Western Australia , I hope they do film the giant from Bhitarkanika though …..
Crocodiles always seem like they smiling lmao
U mean killer smile
And they cry after eating you
Scary how such a behemoth completely disappeared without any splashing
Salt water crockcodile
I think this is a crocodile
I belong to this place nd 15 days back when flood took place in odisha a croc took away a lady
Wow scary. How dangerous is it over there with crocs
Is it dangerous over there with the crocs ?
🤤😱
That's must be a pervert Croc 😂
@@jaisanatanrashtra7035 man eater
I live in near the bhitarkanika
😮😮 crocodile
What a beauty that was 👌
Why not put measuring post or markers on known banks where the crocs hang around to have a good estimate of their size?
Is this Croc over 17 feet?? and also it has been reported in bhitarkanika the largest living Croc has been seen which 23.5 feet tall bigger than lolong who was 21 feet
Big blue
1:40 〜 like gustave
There is a humongous croc in Bhitarkanika 24 feet long and well over 1 tonne in weight, also several 18-20 footers living within the area .
cultspaghetti Trashmovie or in a nutshell, a saltwater crocodile.
@@andrewguerra9343 No they aren't salt water 🐊.
@@akashbhadouria6727 The species is called Saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus). The bhitarkanika does not have the mugger crocodile ( who have smaller lesser average sizes ).

Saltwater

Holy shit thats a nemesis of bengal tigers

Huge
Cros is huge
I don't think a tiger is stupid enough to wrestle this beast!
Cause I see tigers kills a medium sized croc but no this one! 🤔
jay ann pacilan no way! That’s a saltwater crocodile it’s essentially a modern day T-Rex!
@@andrewguerra9343 yeah
Well tiger can easily kill a mugger but salt water crocodiles are the largest species of crocodilians in the world it averages about 19-20 feet for a male so it's very big so it will have a higher chance of winning against a tiger mainly in the water it's very hard to defeat a giant like this
jay ann pacilan jaguar can wrestle this beast

thanks for sharing MY INDIA
That is well over 5 or even 6 meter!
Friedrich Kass not true.
SIR Lord Henry mortimer What’s your estimate? Just eyeballing him I would guesstimate 5 meters.
SIR Lord Henry mortimer You may be correct. Seems massive particularly when you look at the tail.
The end it's not very rare for a big male to reach 6m. It's the max normal size for a big 50-60 years old boy. Max size acepted for the saltwater croc is around 7 m, that would be the inusual size. But seems to be several males over 6m out there. If I'm not wrong, average size for a male adult saltwater croc is arround 5 metres.
6m is a extremely rare size for the Nile croc, with Gustave as example.
SIR Lord Henry mortimer You don’t know squat. Lolong was NEVER the largest croc ever found. He was barely 20 feet ( 20 feet and 3 inches ) . Check your facts before you run your mouth.
Ở Ấn Độ nguy hiểm thật
May he become 40 feet one day ❤️👍
40 feet is really difficult.....but not impossible, anything above that is probably impossible tho :/
@@pablogomesoliveira2677 40 foot is impossible. That is far longer than any of the extinct Crocodylus or even extinct crocodilyformes.
@@xaxisguy4274 I don't think so in Brazil coal mines they found a 33 foot Anaconda 🙄
And Extinct species like Dinosuchus Purrasurus Sarchosuchus easily reached lenghts of 50 feets
@@jaisanatanrashtra7035 33 feet is not officially verified and there's no specimen preserved. Also 50 feet is an old, outdated estimate. Deinosuchus reached only 9~11 meters according to newer estimates and Purussaurus was close to 10 to possibly 11 meters.
Is it saltwater or mugger
Is this salty or mugger?
ankit patel Salty all the way. Muggers are much darker in color and get big but not that big.
Yes . I have visited there recently
ankit patel That’s a saltwater crocodile. Saltwater crocodiles are in eastern India, northern Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Burma (Myanmar), Sri Lanka, and the Philippines as well even! They’re also called seagoing crocodiles because they go all around the pacific and Indian oceans to those countries and back.
It’s a saltwater Crocodile they are bigger larger and way more dangerous and powerful then a mugger
Andrew Guerra there the only crocodile that is able to swim in sea in search for food

What a joke 😂

Can you film croc eat human

These are monster Crocs they have the power to kill a tiger easily tiger is no match for saltwater Crocs it is very difficult I don't know how tigers manage to survive in the surdanabns
On land ..it's different story
@@priyeshshrivastava7483 i dont think so i have not heard any thing a tiger killed satwater crocodile on land these are not regular mugger croc these are Big saltwater crocs tiger in will b dead fact
I think in water saltwater crocodiles forsure will destroy a tiger but on land I think tiger would win but if I had to put my money im putting my money on the salt water crocodile there just a killing machine very dangerous and powerful animals
The only a animal that can kill a saltwater crocodile is a bigger saltwater crocodile.
“Death rolls” !
On land the Bengal tiger can kill a saltwater crocodile because of it's superior reflexes and power. However, in water there really is no challanger to the saltwater crocodile.
I would worry about the croc going into “death rolls” , being crushed by 1500 lb. could be, unfavorable
@@chipschannel9494 A tiger is agile enough to get away from a croc death roll on land. Crocs are slower on land and definitely much slower than a tiger. On land, the tiger is the clear winner.

Tiger cannot stand a chance agenst a fully grown saltie on land or water or air or space or on Mars or on venus
Estos Cocodrilos de la India son mucho mas Grandes y longitud y cuerpo que los Cocodrilos del Nilo que son grandes normales, no Gigantes como estos que hay en el Rio de la India y Rio Orinoco.
Los cocodrilos del Nilo alcanzan casi la misma longitud que los de agua salada. Y los de Sudamérica y el Caribe son cocodrilos más pequeños.
@@cigarettesoutthewindow9458 No en la India se han visto Cocodrilos Gigantes, y en el Rio Orinoco hay pequeños Cocodrilos y tambien los hay de talla grande, te digo se hay Registrados Cocodrilos de 530m de longitud y 6m en Orino y mas gruezo en cuerpo que los del Nilo, eso que vos me decis dicen los Libros y los Documentales; pero no es ciencia cierta ; porque los Cocodrilos del Nilo la mayoria son mas pequeños de lo que se describen, los ejemplares de 6m es escaso y raro, generalmente vez de 4 a 5 m de longitud, muchas veces esos documentales que muestran te enseñan algo basico y los libros de animales vienen cob errores de conceptos y Estadisticas no hay que creer por eso.lo que vemos hablo solo en base al tamaño no ls Especie, familia sus nomvres cientificos eso si te enselan bien, pero el Error biene de las dimensiones, ellos dicen eso porque toman la muestra de algunos Cocodrilos y ven se basan en uno o dos ejemplares grandes que alomejor solo llega a 5.60m de largo, yo se que Gustave si alcanzaba los 6m y habia otro Cocodrilo que media 6,5 m pero eran pocos los que miden asi la mayoria no alcanza ese tamaño es un Error Biologico y Exologico por parte de muchos Biologos y Documentales; sabes donde estan los Cocodrilos mas grandes en Filipinas, alli se ven ejemplares de 6 y 7m y muchos no uno o dos, segun los relatos de sus poblaciones.
En América también hay cocodrilos gigantes. El cocodrilo de río o Americano vive desde México hasta Perú y llega a alcanzar +6 metros. En Chiapas y Costa Rica hay monstruos de 6 metros. Y el del Orinoco también es enorme, sólo que ya están casi extintos gracias a la estupidez humana.
