Alligators and Crocodilians

Something about this, that I like, not sure what. Maybe its the contrast of rough textures against the smooth water and sky.
I seem to be drawn to the LE minimal images of late.
Music choice just goes with the title and hopefully bring a little enjoyment :)
Bullo River at low tide, looking towards where it flows into the Victoria River, Northern Territory, Australia. The water in both rivers is salty and the home to the saltwater crocodile, Crocodylus porosus. Males of this species can weigh 1000kg (2200lbs) and be up to 5.8m (19ft) in length. Some of the dark objects that can be just made out in the water and on the sandbars may not be logs!

Moment at San Monique:
Erinnerungen: Bei meinem Besuch 2019 in Arugam Bay, Sri Lanka, wurde mir von Einheimischen dieses Krokodil gezeigt, das in einem Gewässer zwischen Wiesen und Äckern lebte. Nicht weit entfernt davon weideten Kühe.
Memories: During my visit to Arugam Bay, Sri Lanka, in 2019, locals showed me this crocodile that lived in a body of water between meadows and fields. Not far from there were cows grazing.

Okay, not really, but with a little imagination...
Just a tree turned sideways, converted to B&W and sharpened up a bit.
From my Wild and Weathered Wood collection.
Coccodrillo di fiume: dicono che non sono pericolosi quanto i coccodrilli di mare ma ... .. io non mi fido...
Fresh water crocodile.. I was told they are not so dangerous as saltwater crocodiles but .... I don't trust them anyway....

The common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) is a wild member of the pig family (Suidae) found in grassland, savanna, and woodland in sub-Saharan Africa.
The common warthog is the only pig species that has adapted to grazing and savanna habitats. Its diet is omnivorous, composed of grasses, roots, berries and other fruits, bark, fungi, insects, eggs and carrion. During the wet seasons, warthogs graze on short perennial grasses. During the dry seasons, they subsist on bulbs, rhizomes, and nutritious roots.
Although they can dig their own burrows, they commonly occupy abandoned burrows of aardvarks and other animals. The common warthog reverses into burrows, with its head facing the opening and ready to burst out if necessary.
Although capable of fighting (males aggressively fight each other during mating season), the common warthog's primary defense is to flee by means of fast sprinting. The common warthog's main predators are humans, lions, leopards, cheetahs, crocodiles, wild dogs and hyenas.
Common warthogs are not territorial, but instead occupy a home range. Common warthogs live in groups called sounders. Females live in sounders with their young and with other females. Subadult males associate in bachelor groups, but live alone when they become adults. – Wikipedia

I'm not a big fan of crocs, especially photographing them, but i decided to go really tight and use the lines of the jaw. Fairly happy with the result.

A la ferme aux Crocodiles de Pierrelatte (26 Drôme)
Sa longueur peut atteindre plus de 6 mètres, soit autant que le crocodile du Nil et le crocodile marin. Il est reconnaissable à ses mâchoires particulièrement étroites et allongées. Chez les mâles de plus de 4 mètres, la longueur de la protubérance spongieuse sous le museau peut atteindre jusqu'à six fois sa largeur.
Le Gavial du Gange a 29 dents de chaque côté de la mâchoire supérieure et 26 dents de chaque côté de la mâchoire inférieure. II porte des plaques osseuses sur les côtés de la nuque et du dos. C'est le plus adapté à la vie aquatique des crocodiliens. Revers de la médaille, il ne semble pas capable de marcher comme le font les autres membres du groupe lorsqu'ils sortent de l'eau.
Les œufs de gavial sont plus gros que ceux des autres crocodiliens. À l'éclosion, les jeunes mesurent environ 35 cm de long. La taille du jeune gavial augmente en moyenne tous les deux à trois ans d'environ un mètre, dans un milieu sans présence humaine.
Alimentation
C'est un crocodilien piscivore. Il se nourrit uniquement d'animaux aquatiques. De ce fait, il ne présente pas un danger pour l'homme qui ne fait pas partie de ses proies. Ses très longues mâchoires sont garnies de dents fines et pointues lui permettant de maintenir fermement ses proies glissantes (poissons, amphibiens, crustacés).

A crocodile, in Belize. My family and I went on a boat ride to a lagoon, while we were there. The lagoon was amazing, because of stunning bioluminescence. I took this photo from our small boat, when our tour leader briefly shined a flashlight on it as we passed in the dark.
