Hungry, hungry crocodile!

The St. Lucia Estuary had lots of hippos showing off for the tourists.  It is hard to really believe that they are the most dangerous animal in Africa.  Much more sinister looking are these prehistoric monsters sunning on the shore or hunting in the water.

















They are camouflaged  pretty nicely on the bank
 As well as in the water.....

 What amazed me was that there were people fishing on the shore! Do you see how close his feet are to the water?  And remember what swims in the water, close to the shore???

 The guide said that occasionally someone decides to cool off by taking a swim in the refreshing water!  And every now and then someone becomes crocodile dinner!

 Seriously??? Fishing and swimming in THIS water!
With these guys lurking about?
