Ok, another really big animal is the Nile crocodile. The one in the picture is about 3 meters long. You can get an idea of it's size from the Monitor lizard in the foreground. The monitor is about 1 meter, give a little for perspective and the croc is about 3 meters or more.
The monitor lizard is there to steal the croc's eggs. The Croc looks quite capable of simply turning it's head and taking care of the egg stealing problem. However, for some reason, I never saw a croc attack a lizard. Although I suspect that if it caught the lizard digging eggs out of it's nest it would be a different matter.
Both of these animals really are incredible though... Both of them must be fully capable of surviving in this environment. Yet both are really tied to the destruction of the other. So maybe that was a little philosophical... But it is just really cool to see them together like this.
