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!
