This is a large crocodile of sub-Saharan Africa which mostly lives in freshwater bodies and marshlands (historically distributed also in the Nile river and delta). It is an opportunistic ambush predator that can motionless wait for days under the water surface for a suitable attack. It has an extremely powerful bite and is able to hold even large prey down underwater to drown it. The not endangered Nile crocodile is every year responsible for deaths of humans.
