Todos los Tipos de Cocodrilos Explicados a Detalle

All Types of Crocodiles Explained in Detail The Nile crocodile is, without question, Africa's deadliest killer. Not the lion, not the hippopotamus: this reptile, which can reach up to 6 meters in length and weigh over 700 kilos, is responsible for hundreds of human deaths each year—more than any other crocodile on the planet, although exact figures vary between 200 and over 1,000 depending on the source. Its secret isn't speed or brute strength, but patience. It can remain motionless in the water for hours, with only its eyes and nostrils visible above the dark green surface, waiting for a wildebeest, a young hippopotamus, or a human to get too close.
