There’s a CROCODILE in my backyard!

By Sodwana Bay

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDSr5j5ofJ0[/embedyt] Checkout this cool video of our very first Crocodile found! Lake Sibaya is so close to us that we can literally hear the Hippos at night grunting! So we consider Lake Sibaya to be part of our backyard, since there are so few houses past us! We had been searching for months for some sort of sign that there might be at least one Croc in the Lake! Crocs are not as easy to spot as Hippos since they are so flat and mainly hide in the reeds! We discovered the best way to find a crocodile is to look for moving logs in the water or to find the shimmer in the reeds, more often then not, the shimmer you see in the reeds is a Nile Crocodile!

How fast can a Hippo run under water?

By Sodwana Bay

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDVFHXJtIBE[/embedyt]   We were so excited to find our very first Hippo. After months of trying to find Hippos we finally were able to see one. Although he was in the distance and all we could see was his head when he came up for air. It was a Hippo!!! This was a special mission of mine to find the Hippo as it was my mom’s favorite animal! So sort of this video and the Hippo Pod video goes out to you, mom hope you watched it from heaven! Drone Talk: I really tried my best to get the glare less with color grading in post editing but obviously I still have a lot to learn. This footage was taken before the Hippo Pod video and as you can see I did not take the time of day and the position of the sun in to consideration. It was noon 12pm and I flew directly into the sun – reflection on the water. Now I know better – get the sun to your back! I’m slowly learning and making many needed mistake as this will only make me a better wildlife drone operator. For Example with the Hippo Pod video – Lake Sibaya was smooth as glass and when I tried to find anything in the water – I could only see dark green – I had no reference points – no ripple or reflection. I did though; get awesome clouds reflecting in the water and super happy about that.

Our first ever Crocodile at Lake Sibaya.

By Sodwana Bay

Crocodylus niloticus Lake Sibaya is home to 2 highly aggressive marine animals – The Nile Crocodile and Hippos! So unless you can still see your feet in the water and don’t see any signs of Hippo or Crocodile activity, don’t swim in the Lake!   [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDSr5j5ofJ0[/embedyt]   Fun Facts about the Nile Crocodile: If you ever visiting Sodwana Bay, find out where Lake Sibaya is and make a day trip out of it! If you look hard enough you might be able to find a living log floating in the water or basking on the shoreline! Here is something we can all learn from the Nile Crocodile – Respect your elders! Nile Crocodiles are one of the few crocodile species that like to socialise… They don’t mind sharing an extra large meal or a school of fish. As long as there is enough they not picky who shares a meal with them… As long as you respect the hierarchy. The oldest and largest male always gets first debs on everything, the best piece of meat, fish and even the best basking spot. Sometimes the younger males can get a little cocky and challenge the alpha. That is a really poor choice on their part, since often times the younger male will be seriously injured or even killed in the fight…. Come on, everybody knows you don’t take on something that is bigger and stronger than you! READ ORIGINAL ARTICLE >>> READ NOW
