On the trail of Lanka’s crocodiles with expert Anslem

View(s):

Recently, crocodiles have hit the headlines in Colombo, and beyond, with these ancient creatures who merely follow their instincts, one of which is to keep away from humans being frequently demonised. Humans don’t always, however, respect the domain of crocodiles, and that is when the trouble starts.

Who better to explain all of this to us than Dr. Anslem de Silva, current Regional Chairperson of the Crocodile Specialist Group IUCN/SSC for South Asia and Iran.

This month’s Wildlife and Nature Protection Society (WNPS) lecture is ‘Sri Lanka’s Crocodiles: Living Fossils’ and it will be at 6 p.m. on March 24, at the Jasmine Hall, BMICH and can also be accessed on Zoom and FB live.

Dr Anslem has worked extensively on the reptiles and amphibians of Sri Lanka and has, to his credit, almost 60 books, and chapters in prestigious publications (some published in the UK & India).
