Saeed,

You might want to change your title to read: "Croc Eye View..." Appreciate the risk you took for the pics. Nice addition to your report!

Saeed, I notice they're in the water. Did the crocs attempt to take any of the vultures or storks?

Or, is there a certain amount of professional courtesy, like between lawyers and sharks?

We had to brave a number of crocs to cross the river, and bring you this photo of our camp from across the river.



We see any number of crocs with their heads out of the water at any given time of the day. Especially in the evenings.



We could normally count their eyes with our torch lights, and the most we counted was 37 pairs of eyes.



The blob you can see to the center left of the photo is a rib cage from a buffalo. Which we towed over to feed the vultures.







As soon as we crossed back to our camp, 4 marabou storks came and landed a few yards from the carcas. They refused to get close to it.



They would walk past it, keeping some distance away. This went on for about an hour. Then an eagle came down, and started to feed.



The storks did not like that much, as one attacked him and took a piece of meat from him.



Soon a vulture landed and started to feed. And within minutes, literally hundreds descended to have their feast.

Saeed,

Would a "Coc eye view" be if you're standing with water to just below the waistline?

Eric,

We wanted to play a trick on the wimps who refused to cross the river.

The plan was that I was going to scream and pretend that a croc has gotten hold of my leg, and is dragging me down. I was going to go unde the surface, swim under water back to our side of the river, and hide .

No one agreed with my plan, so I had to forgo it.

Next time I will remember to keep my plans to myself.
