Description

These crocs didn't even know I was there. I hid in the weeds and snapped a few pictures of them. This was taken at Busch Gardens this past March. Here are some Nile Crocodile facts from National Geographic: Africa's largest crocodilian, these primordial brutes reach a maximum size of about 20 feet (6 meters) and can weigh up to 1,650 pounds (730 kilograms). Average sizes, though, are more in the range of 16 feet (5 meters) and 500 pounds (225 kilograms). They live throughout sub-Saharan Africa, the Nile Basin, and Madagascar in rivers, freshwater marshes, and mangrove swamps. The diet of the Nile crocodile is mainly fish, but it will attack almost anything unfortunate enough to cross its path, including zebras, small hippos, porcupines, birds, and other crocodiles. It will also scavenge carrion, and can eat up to half its body weight at a feeding. This evening I am taking a break from things and just kicking back. Ryan went to homing coming and I think Dave and I are going to watch a movie. I have the popcorn all ready. Have fun tonight, I will see you all tomorrow. Much peace and love, Cheri P.S. Feel free to have fun with this one and it was the only animal in the park Dave didn't want to get close to, LOL.

You know why these three are sleeping, don't you Cheri? They ate the last three photographers that tried to get their picture:-) They are big 'uns.

Superlative clarity in this peek-a-boo capture of the deadly crocodiles and environs, Cheri! Love those segmented bodies. Actually, the crocs, with their ugly dentures, look like concrete statues.
