About the Nile Crocodile
Nile crocodiles regulate body temperature by moving between water, shade and sunny banks. They can remain still for long periods before making sudden movements.
During seasonal wildebeest movements, crocodiles are part of the river ecosystem, but dramatic feeding scenes are natural events and cannot be predicted precisely.
