Abstract
Conflict between humans and crocodiles on the Cauvery river delta region is discussed. Four instances of situations were recorded, namely attacks on people (fatal and non-fatal), the capture of crocodiles from nearby inhabited areas, translocation of crocodiles to other areas of the River, and crocodiles entering human habitation. Distances between translocation sites and non fatal attacks averaged 10.12 Km, whilst distance between fatal attacks averaged 58.73 Km.
