Field Notes

Description:

am lazy to desribe this crocodile

Habitat:

rivers, swampy areas, small lagoon, ponds, wet savannahs.

Notes:

this croc reside in a small shallow water pond. I had thrown a small furrowed-wood turtle into the pond and this croc almost swam towards it to grab a bite. i was horrified at the swimming-what-is-that attempt and waved my hands to distract the croc, the croc slowed down a bit as i caught its attention and the turtle was able to swim away amongst some tree branches falling over the bank area.
