Nile Crocodile

The Nile crocodile is a large reptile found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, especially in rivers, lakes, and wetlands. Known for its powerful jaws and keen hunting skills, it primarily feeds on fish, birds, and mammals. Nile crocodiles can grow up to 16 feet long and are known for their tough, scaly skin. They are social creatures, often seen basking in the sun in large groups. While they play a crucial role in their ecosystem by maintaining balanced populations of other species, they can be dangerous to humans and livestock if provoked.
