Troubled waters
A handicapped Nile Crocodile, with only a half of a lower law, showed his adaptability. With his handicap he may have a hard time capturing prey like other crocs do but the Sand River had flooded, causing rapids over the stones. The croc just lay on the low side of the rapid, with his mouth wide open just waiting for the stunned fish to jump right in.The saying Survival of the fittest may be revised to Survival of the most resourceful !
I was already eally happy with this shot but I became even happier when this picture won first prize in Mala Mala's Photograph of the year award and reached the final rounds in this year's Veolia Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.
Wishing you all a fantastic sunny weekend!
