CROCODILE CAPERS: Crocodile action at Kulafumbi > Crocodiles Devour Buffalo Carcass Evening - 22 October 2007 (62)
By the evening, the buffalo carcass had drifted quite a way downstream, and now was only a couple of hundred yards from our house. A seething mass of crocodiles had gathered...take a look at these photos, and see if you can work out how many crocodiles there actually were there. Ian will never forgive me for including shots of his delicate backside in this series, but I wanted to show how closer we were able to get to the crocodiles, by creeping up behind some rocks on the river's edge. The Marabou and Yellow Billed Storks added some light entertainment - trying to get close enough to scavenge a morsel or two (or catch a fish attracted by the carcass), but ever so careful not to get too close. The Spur-winged Plover, however, seemed completely unphased by the crocodiles lurking in the water all around it. Read the whole story here...
