Crocodile takes Wildebeest. WARNING - graphic images.

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Sometimes being cautious is warranted sometimes it is a restraint one would be better off to lift in the longer run. At NG we leave this to the posting member as long as the stuff presented is adhering to our (common-sense) Site Guidelines., Only very rarely do the Moderators need to step in.

The is an analogy concerning nudity in US vs Europe film, to take an example I just read a long article on. Food for thought no matter what continent, or culture, one belongs to.

Thank you all for your comments.  In my postings from my Tanzania trip I am trying to give an idea of the experience, not just to show portraits of animals.

As for the graphic images warning, I think it is fair, even with adults, to warn if there is something which some may find shocking; or perhaps it is a form of marketing?

Jan Anne's b+w is a very striking image.

Excellent series!
This really tells the story of nature - it is not about cuddly animals, it is about struggle, and life and death.

Thank you Anthony, and I apologize for this aside. The latter was probably inspired from an article I read with regard to the "snowflake" generation and the acknowledgement that we were re-entering a new Victorian period.

Please continue to post images 😉

Thanks, Simone, glad you like them.

MFloyd, no problems, I am probably on your side on the "snowflake" issue!  I am glad you like the photos.

"Croc's got it" said our guide.

Wow. What an astonishing sequence. I've frittered away a fair amount of time taking pix of our south Florida crocodiles, but they're mostly of static subjects. Congrats on recording such a dramatic presentation and thanks for sharing it here.

shades of Attenborough ! great series captured.

Also like JA's colour crock profile - very sleek and deadly efficient.

Thanks, keirin and Mongo, I was very fortunate to be there at the right moment.

What's this about Americans being squeamish? We loved Bonnie and Clyde!

[Matthew Currie]

That's a very dramatic sequence.  The crocs I met recently were less ambitious, though plenty threatening up close.  I somehow picture this one calling out, "Hey guys, over here...the water's nice."
