Crocodile, the killler of water

[Tshokwane]

African Wildlife Photography Maggy Meyer:
Crocodile collect her just hatched babies
A very rare sighting in Masai Mara. Mother was immediately collected with her mouth each baby who crawled out of the egg shell. The babies were so tiny and the mouth of the mother so huge. She took each cub with her teeth from the ground and then it looked as if she would swallow it. But that was not the case, because crocodiles bring their babies in a bag in her lower jaw. When the bag was full and was seen no longer a baby, the mother returned from the bank into deep water and we could see nothing. Crocodiles accustom their babies only very slowly to the water, which can take several hours.
