Got a phone call from a buddy yesterday to say that he had picked up a leguaan at the bottom of his garden can I come and have a look at it because it has funny colouring.
25cm Nile crocodile - I thought intially it was a imported species but this is defs a Nile croc...... Well as they say where there are little one there must be big ones....
I decided that it was best to release him back to the river as it is nice to still see these things in the city. So next time your "Stoepkakker" goes missing whisit walking along the moreletta - it may well be mama....
Food for thought for those guys with float tubes....
you have to wonder how many of these little (best case scenario) buggers have been washed into places like the Vaal dam / Harties with all the rain that we been having.
Those crocs grow very slow a friend in Botswana of mine got 2(60cm in 3 years) in his koi pond( no kois left after 2 months) we use to catch them the limpopo with a net and those things can bite even if they are 1 week old
