Sliding in & out of the water, lazing under the sun whole day, the crocs are the most stress free relaxed creatures. But make no mistake. If you try one selfie with it and you are history at lightning speed!🐊
A pit stop on the way to from Chennai to Pondicherry on the the Eastern Coastal road, this is the Crocodile Park on the ECR.
All these pots in these place are not only home to the some of the most deadliest reptiles in the world, the Irulas here also extract and freeze the venom for anti venom serum labs..the krait on the table is more deadlier than the cobra..
The Irulas themselves are an interesting read.
Checkout their website

Driving further down to Mahabalipuram, pop in at this popular seafood restaurant Moonraker's for some sumptuous calamari and snappers;)
Cheers!

Hi @Prodeep,
Thanks for this nice and interesting post. I didn't know about the existence of the Irulas tribe. It is so amazing that they still conserved their heritage and are so connected with nature.
Looking forward for your future posts.

Hey @NadyaPN!
Thank you for your comments. The Irulas themselves have been a subject of a study and are well documented & filmed. Pretty evident from the way we saw them handle the venomous snakes with such fluidity.
Amazing.
Cheers!
