Nile Crocodile
Nile Crocodile
Apex Predators. The Nile crocodile is an extremely aggressive and dangerous reptile that found primarily in Africa, including, as the name suggests, in the Nile river. Nile crocodiles are ambush predators, waiting for their prey below the surface of bodies of fresh water, and will attack anything that approaches the water in their hunting grounds, regardless of its size. Communities who live near such bodies of water are well aware of this threat, and take precautions when traveling near, or on, the water.
