Nile Crocodile.

The Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) is one of the 3 species of crocodiles found in Africa. It is the second largest species of crocodile. They can be found throughout most of Africa south of the Sahara, and on the island of Madagascar. The Nile crocodile can, and sometimes will, easily snatch and devour a human. While it is no longer threatened with extinction as a species, the population in many countries is in danger of vanishing. It can reach lengths of up to 5m, or sometimes more than that. Good sized males weigh 500kg and are usually 30% larger than females. Nile crocodiles have been reported to have lived up to 56 years in captivity, however it is thought by scientists that in their natural habitat, they can live up to 70–100 years.
