CROCODILES

The crocodiles seem to know a herd of
wildebeest has arrived before anyone else does. The
most ferocious group of crocodiles is in line along
the shore awaiting a chance to capture one of the
wildebeest. After a series of weeks, the seasonal
river shrinks into a series of pools. This makes 
it even harder for animals to get something to
drink without getting attacked by a crocodile, some
of which are eighteen feet, weigh almost a ton, and
can move at extremely deadly speeds. On top of
this, the crocodiles will eat anything they can
catch. 
The crocodile is a cold-blooded reptile with a
very slow metabolism; therefore, they can last six
months or longer without eating. Many of the
crocodiles only eat when these herds come. The
herds are easier targets because many of the
wildebeest, especially calves, have never seen a
crocodile before. The impalas, baboons, and
warthogs that live there year-round have learned
when and when not to approach the river. 
The crocodiles' annual feast on the unexpecting
wildebeest in the Grumeti River has proven these
crocodiles to be very strong and deadly.
