Crocodile at the Chobe NP

A crocodile is any species belonging to the family Crocodylidae (sometimes classified instead as the subfamily Crocodylinae). The term can also be used more loosely to include all members of the order Crocodilia: i.e. the true crocodiles, the alligators and caimans (family Alligatoridae) and the gharials (family Gavialidae), or even the Crocodylomorpha which includes prehistoric crocodile relatives and ancestors. Crocodiles are large aquatic reptiles that live throughout the tropics in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. Crocodiles tend to congregate in freshwater habitats like rivers, lakes, wetlands and sometimes in brackish water. They feed mostly on vertebrates like fish, reptiles, and mammals, sometimes on invertebrates like mollusks and crustaceans, depending on species. They are an ancient lineage, and are believed to have changed little since the time of the dinosaurs. They are believed to be 200 million years old whereas dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago; crocodiles survived great extinction events.

Hi Achim,

Nice croc photo! Nice sharp details. Bright colours.

The focus is bit towards the back side of the eyes. I would have focused towards the head and mouth. But thats everyones PoV. You have captured it nicely. Good work.

TFS,
Kedar

Lieber Achim,
Das Krokodil war so gut getarnt, dass ich es auf dem Thumbnail nicht wahrgenommen habe. Feines Licht für dieses spezielle Tier, es scheint auf den Stockzähnen zu lachen.. ich würde nicht zu nahe gehen.
Schönes und natürliches Bild
Hab herzlichen Dank
Anne
