Anyone willing to share the Wild Waters of the Sabie River with this Nile Crocodile?
Come on – just look how much fun she’s having!?

Great series of photos and what an amazing thing to see! We have also seen crocs waiting below rapids for catches, but we have never seen one shooting a rapid. This croc looks quite practiced at it!

I don’t know why, but I always imagined they’d walk around such hurdles. I would’ve loved to see what maneuvers she’d use to go the other way.

It would be interesting to see one going up stream. They can curve their tails and use them as a kind of spring to launch them out of the water to catch prey. I wonder if they can use similar techniques to leap up rapids!

I’ve been loading pages when on line and then reading at home.. This series of images gave me a great smile.. loved them all, and i am reminded to keep watch for ‘gators/crocs’ depending on if i’m in the southern usa or in south america!
i’ve been wanting to create a paper mache creature – perhaps a croc would be fun!

We didn’t think that the crocodile would actually take the plunge, and yet she did it quite gracefully!

We’ve often seen them lying below the rapids waiting for a hapless fish to come flowing into their open mouths, but have never seen a crocodile white-water rafting before!
