A permanent marking method is described to identify crocodiles being rehabilitated back into the Wild. The method involves mutilation marking-clipping the enlarged dorsal scales (scutes) on the tail. This method is simple, requiring no specialised equipment and it is easy to identify released crocodiles in the field using binoculars. A noted advantage is that the crocodilian does not need to be recaptured for positive identification to be made if it is a released crocodilian. This method has now had more than 4 years of continuous field testing in India and subordinate personnel are able to participate freely in recording sightings.- Sexing of the Crocodiles in Captivity

A basking gharial Gavialis gangeticus (Gmelin), often leaven at the basking site, impressions of the single row tail scutes of the ventral region. The growth of these scutes (SC) bear a linear relationship to the growth of the total body length (TBL). TBL=53.658+62.733 (SC). This statistic, with fair degrees of accuracy, has been proved with four wild gharials and three captive gharials ranging from 1.4 to 5.4 m in total length. It is presumed that a similar relationship exists for other crocodilian species too. This method of size estimation from the tail scute spoor can be safely used for census and movement studies.- Studies on the Indian Gharial (Gavialis gangeticus Gmelin) (Reptilia, Crocodilia) V: Preliminary Observations on Maternal Behaviour
