Crocodile Rock!


11-23

Hey Everyone gonna post another quick blog here to show off some pictures!

My friend Suk (last name Nuhu) and I went to the Dam to attempt and capture crocodiles tonight for the first time. It was a mixed bag until we checked the last section of the pond,a small run off area that seems to serve as sort of a rookery for juveniles. I was able to snag my first Nile Crocodile from here!


The little beauty measure 62cm on the dot from head to tail and is totally gorgeous! I am on cloud nine right now! I notched the little buggers scutes for future identification purposes and applied some Betadine solution just for precautionary measures.



Just wanted to show this little bugger to everyone back home!  I feel incredibly blessed to be able to see and interact with these animals in their natural habitat!

Ok Peace out everyone and God Bless!

“The Name of the Lord is a Strong Tower, the righteous run to it and are safe”- Proverbs  18:10


Which is more fierce, the Crocodile or my Beard?

Notching some scutes with my handy dandy dissection kit!

All finished, Ready to take em back!
