Crocodile Hunting In Africa

The species of crocodile that you see on safari in Africa is called the Nile crocodile, even though they are distributed across the continent from North to South.
Crocodiles have a surprising vocal range which includes hissing and during the mating season they will produce fearsome roars and bellows.
Larger crocodiles will eat anything that comes to drink at the waters edge, if they can catch it. Zebra, wildebeest, antelope and even the big cats are at risk.
Crocodiles do kill a number of humans in Africa every year. They are so adept to ambush hunting, lying concealed under the water and then exploding towards the bank to latch on with their jaws.
They are cold blooded which means they use the sun to regulate their body temperature. Which is why you often see them lying on sandbanks or in mud catching sun rays.
