One of the largest of all crocodiles, the Nile crocodile is a supremely adapted aquatic predator, with a streamlined body, a long, powerful tail, webbed feet, and long, powerful jaws suited for grabbing and holding onto prey and ripping it apart.
Their ear and eye are locate at the top of their head allowing them to camouflage and ambush prey. They have excellent sense of smell and a great night vision. They usually grow up to 6 meters and may weigh more than 1000 kg
The Nile crocodile has a wide distribution throughout sub-Saharan Africa and is also found on Madagascar.
Crocodiles mainly feed on large herbivores such as antelopes, zebras and wildebeest. Crocodiles mainly inhabit swamps and freshwater water bodies.
