Crocs National
What do crocodiles do when the water holes run dry?
Water holes provisioned by rain dry up at some point until the next rainy season. I noticed in Kruger national Park in South Africa that there were many crocs at the water holes and wondered what happened to these when the holes run dry. I have never seen, on a documentary or in photos, crocs going on a trek. And never heard of animals having to be careful cos of crocs on the move.
They do go on a mission…instinctually they will seek water…where their trek leads them can often be their ultimate end [as in Africa desert conditions of famine/drought]. Crocs have been know to actually dig/wiggle their way down deep into the muds as the water holes begin to dry up, they will continue with the depth of cooling mud to dirt with some residual of moisture below until all is arrid or gone…some will remain in hopes of a refill of moisture to that waterhole…where others may seek further avenues…Nature has a beautiful way of offering instinct as well as ’survival of the fittest’… Remember that the acts of Nature are inter-connected with life…weakness &/or death of one will nourish another~
