Our camera decided it wasn’t gonna play along on the day we shot this video! So we made an experienced amateur 1855 movie clip! We really weren’t keen on flying the drone as the Hippos looked so peaceful and we didn’t wanna scare them back into the water. This was the first time we had ever been able to find the whole Hippo pod basking on land! Starring Keira (AfriCanis dog), hippos and crocodiles. Super fun day at the Lake.

There’s a CROCODILE in my backyard!

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!


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
