Crocs Of The Nile. A Nile crocodile is capable of taking down almost any living being that visits the banks of African waters. Once they're considered sexually mature, the male crocs will attract females through elaborate courtship rituals that involve bellowing, shooting water out of their noses and slapping their snouts on the water.
The iconic Nile crocodile actually comprises two different species — and they are only distantly related. This makes them a threat to native wildlife, including endangered and threatened species like American crocodiles, sea turtles, and burrowing owls. The Nile crocodile is quite widespread throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, occurring mostly in the central, eastern. along a section of the Victoria Nile/Ramsar site of Murchison Falls National Park, in order to update the historic. information on crocodile populations in the area, locating nesting areas, determining seasonality patterns and. habitat use, and assess the current abundance and the population size.

The second largest of all crocodilians, the Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) is a supremely adapted aquatic predator, with a streamlined body, a long, powerful tail, webbed hind feet, and long, powerful jaws, ideally suited for grabbing and holding onto prey.
The Nile crocodile is one of the most feared preadators in all of deadly Africa. Sightings of Nile crocodiles north of the dam are rare. It has thick skin, and armor like scutes in rows on the back and tail.
