CLEARING THE CONCEPTS
AN INTRODUCTION
Alligators and caimans
"True" crocodiles
Gharials
CROCODILES IN INDIA
Saltwater Crocodile
(Crocodylus porosus)
Mugger Crocodile
(Crocodylus palustris)
Gharial
(Gavialis gangeticus)
• Inhabits lakes, rivers, marshes and artificial ponds (slow-
moving, shallow water bodies).
• Broadest snout among living crocodilians.
• Acute visual, hearing and smelling senses.
• Has a powerful tail and webbed feet.
• Preys on fish, reptiles, birds and mammals.
• Average size - 3 to 3.5 meter (Male), 2 to 2.5 meter
(Female).
• Average weight - around 100 kg (220 lb)
MUGGER CROCODILE (CROCODYLUS PALUSTRIS)
GHARIAL (CROCODYLUS PALUSTRIS)
• Males develop a hollow bulbous nasal protuberance at the tip of the snout upon sexual
maturity which resembles an earthenware pot known in Hindi as ghara. The gharial's
common name is derived from this similarity.
• Native to the northern part of the Indian subcontinent (deep rivers).
• Average size of an adult – 3-6 meter (Male), 2.5-4 meter (Female)
• Average adults weigh 150-250 Kg.
• Critically Endangered on IUCN Red List.
RESTRAINING THE REPTILES
WHAT, WHY AND HOW
 Ectotherm or cold blooded animal.
 Dorsum is keeled or ridged.
 Head is flattened with adaptation to float on surface of water.
 No bony ossicles are present in the sclera of the eye.
 External ear is not conspicuous.
 Tongue is not protrusible in nature.
 Teeth grows continuously through out life and in case of crocodiles, teeth are visible well when the mouth is kept
in the closed position unlike alligators.
 Four chambered heart is present but a ‘Foramen of Panizza’ is present in between the ventricles.
 Diaphragm is present and the large lung is divided into many chambers.
 Urinary bladder is absent.
 Oviparous in nature.
 Shedding of skin occurs but in pieces unlike serpentines.
 Renal portal system is an important component of venous system in any reptile.
IMPORTANT BASELINE FEATURES
WHAT IS A RESTRAINT?
 A restraint is a device or medication used to restrict or control an
animal’s movement or behaviour.
TYPES OF RESTRAINTS
1. Physical restraints that restrict or control movement or behaviour. They may be attached
to an animal’s body or create physical barriers.
eg. drop nets, net gun, squeeze cages , trap cages etc.
2. Chemical restraints that are medications used to modify or restrict behaviour.
eg. Tranquilizers, sedatives, anaesthetics, etc.
3. Environmental restraints that change or modify an animal’s surroundings to restrict or
control movement.
eg. a locked door.
PURPOSES OF RESTRAINT
 Disease diagnostic purpose
 Therapeutic purpose
 Vaccination purpose
 Examination of highly excitable species
 Biological research purposes
 Veterinary research purposes
 Translocation
 Transfer
 Transport
 Wild animal conflicts related events (herbivore and
carnivore and omnivore may get associated with these
conflicts)
 Random health assessment in free ranging areas
 Rescue purposes
 Management purposes

PHYSICAL RESTRAINT
CAPTURING AND HANDLING BASICS
 Strike Zones – Head, Tail
 Roping
Neck noosing
Top-Jaw noosing
 Securing the Jaws
Tape
Cable Straps
 Eye Coverage
 Go to the Bathroom
ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT
 Where are the escape routes?
 What is physically possible?
 Is the animal trained to shift?
 Will the animal be caught in water
or land?
 Where will be the animal
restrained?
 Are other animals present?
ANIMAL
ASSESSMENT
 Knowledge of the Animal
 Temperament
 Individual animal
differences
 Morphology
 “Toothiness”
 Planning
 Communication
 Caution
 Knowledge of the
animals
ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS
OF A SUCCESSFUL CAPTURE
PHYSICAL RESTRAINT
PHYSICAL RESTRAINT - PROCEDURE
 Take utmost care in the physical restraint of crocodiles.
 Use a longer pole with a snare at the end.
 Carefully catch the crocodile with the snare and bring it to the ground by dragging in
water.
 Better to have this near a tree or wooden plank that is strongly grounded vertically.
 Close the eyes of the crocodile with a gunny bag or thick cloth.
 Experienced persons will immediately hold on the head and tie the mouth with a
rubber tube.
 Crocodiles may be handled with many persons. The tail has to be secured and then the
legs have to be secured (forelimbs separately and hindlimbs separately).
 Reptile’s head needs to be controlled in addition to the control of limbs.
 Now, you can undertake the clinical inspection.

  • 6. • Inhabits lakes, rivers, marshes and artificial ponds (slow- moving, shallow water bodies). • Broadest snout among living crocodilians. • Acute visual, hearing and smelling senses. • Has a powerful tail and webbed feet. • Preys on fish, reptiles, birds and mammals. • Average size - 3 to 3.5 meter (Male), 2 to 2.5 meter (Female). • Average weight - around 100 kg (220 lb) MUGGER CROCODILE (CROCODYLUS PALUSTRIS)
  • 7. GHARIAL (CROCODYLUS PALUSTRIS) • Males develop a hollow bulbous nasal protuberance at the tip of the snout upon sexual maturity which resembles an earthenware pot known in Hindi as ghara. The gharial's common name is derived from this similarity. • Native to the northern part of the Indian subcontinent (deep rivers). • Average size of an adult – 3-6 meter (Male), 2.5-4 meter (Female) • Average adults weigh 150-250 Kg. • Critically Endangered on IUCN Red List.
  • 9.  Ectotherm or cold blooded animal.  Dorsum is keeled or ridged.  Head is flattened with adaptation to float on surface of water.  No bony ossicles are present in the sclera of the eye.  External ear is not conspicuous.  Tongue is not protrusible in nature.  Teeth grows continuously through out life and in case of crocodiles, teeth are visible well when the mouth is kept in the closed position unlike alligators.  Four chambered heart is present but a ‘Foramen of Panizza’ is present in between the ventricles.  Diaphragm is present and the large lung is divided into many chambers.  Urinary bladder is absent.  Oviparous in nature.  Shedding of skin occurs but in pieces unlike serpentines.  Renal portal system is an important component of venous system in any reptile.

  • 10. WHAT IS A RESTRAINT?  A restraint is a device or medication used to restrict or control an animal’s movement or behaviour. TYPES OF RESTRAINTS 1. Physical restraints that restrict or control movement or behaviour. They may be attached to an animal’s body or create physical barriers. eg. drop nets, net gun, squeeze cages , trap cages etc. 2. Chemical restraints that are medications used to modify or restrict behaviour. eg. Tranquilizers, sedatives, anaesthetics, etc. 3. Environmental restraints that change or modify an animal’s surroundings to restrict or control movement. eg. a locked door.

PURPOSES OF RESTRAINT  Disease diagnostic purpose  Therapeutic purpose  Vaccination purpose  Examination of highly excitable species  Biological research purposes  Veterinary research purposes  Translocation  Transfer  Transport  Wild animal conflicts related events (herbivore and carnivore and omnivore may get associated with these conflicts)  Random health assessment in free ranging areas  Rescue purposes  Management purposes

  • 15. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT  Where are the escape routes?  What is physically possible?  Is the animal trained to shift?  Will the animal be caught in water or land?  Where will be the animal restrained?  Are other animals present? ANIMAL ASSESSMENT  Knowledge of the Animal  Temperament  Individual animal differences  Morphology  “Toothiness”  Planning  Communication  Caution  Knowledge of the animals ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL CAPTURE PHYSICAL RESTRAINT
  • 16. PHYSICAL RESTRAINT - PROCEDURE  Take utmost care in the physical restraint of crocodiles.  Use a longer pole with a snare at the end.  Carefully catch the crocodile with the snare and bring it to the ground by dragging in water.  Better to have this near a tree or wooden plank that is strongly grounded vertically.  Close the eyes of the crocodile with a gunny bag or thick cloth.  Experienced persons will immediately hold on the head and tie the mouth with a rubber tube.  Crocodiles may be handled with many persons. The tail has to be secured and then the legs have to be secured (forelimbs separately and hindlimbs separately).  Reptile’s head needs to be controlled in addition to the control of limbs.  Now, you can undertake the clinical inspection.
