Nile crocodile attacks

Nile crocodile attacks occur when these large reptiles, native to Africa, perceive a threat or see potential prey. They are known for their powerful jaws and stealth in water, allowing them to ambush animals and occasionally humans near rivers and lakes. Factors contributing to attacks include habitat encroachment, food scarcity, and human negligence around crocodile-infested waters. While such incidents are relatively rare, they can be deadly. Awareness, caution, and respect for wildlife are essential to minimize risks when sharing habitats with these formidable creatures.
