Image of West African dwarf crocodile
Description:
Found in one of the pools of murky water, what is left of a drought-stricken swamp forest that forms a larger area of the nature reserve. Both are small-size crocs. No sign of larger ones in the vicinity. So there was the assumption that they were babies (until Jakob came around). They lay still like logs of wood jutting out of the water.
