It was a cold, cloudy morning as I sat quietly at the Hyena dam, waiting and watching to see what bird action there was. Suddenly, a movement caught my attention, the profile of a large crocodile was cruising across the water and was swimming towards me. Being a master of stealth, the reptile reached the bank without being noticed, and then when the birds became aware, the peaceful scene erupted into an orchestra of panic sounds, and many of them were in a major flap, due to this “croc shock”. However, the croc seemed to have a different motive, as it moved out of the water and onto the bank in the hope of getting some daylight warmth. Watch out for these reptiles next time you visit the Nairobi park, you might enjoy a “croc shock” moment!
