Creator James, D B
 
Subject Marine Biodiversity
 
Description The Andaman and Nicobar Islands being oceanic in nature, harbour a number of marine animals
sucli as whales, dolphins, turtles, saltwater crocodiles, dugongs and robber-crabs. All these animals
are now listed as endangered species. The author during his stay of three years in Andaman and
Nicobar Islands recorded a number of instances of these animals. Also records and informations
collected from others are included in the paper to make it more comprehensive. The paper also
includes interesting observations on the anatomical details of false-killer whale which is recorded for
the first time from the Andaman Sea, growth rate of saltwater crocodile in captivity, mode of capture
and maintenance of live turtles by Bengalee settlers in earlier days and also on the habits of robbercrab.
