Welcome to the crocodile hub on African Internship News. Here you’ll find every new article that mentions crocodiles, from river safety alerts to cutting‑edge research on breeding programs. We pull together stories that matter to anyone living near water, working with wildlife, or just curious about these ancient reptiles.
In the past month, several headlines have caught our eye. A new study from a KwaZulu‑Natal university shows that nesting success improves when local communities help protect sandbanks during the rainy season. The research suggests that simple measures—like keeping trash off riverbanks—can boost hatchling survival by up to 15%.
Tourism operators along the Limpopo have also reported a rise in guided night‑walks that let visitors watch crocodiles hunt under lantern light. Guides stress the importance of staying on marked paths and never swimming after dark. These tours not only generate income for nearby villages but also raise awareness about why crocodiles need safe habitats.
Safety alerts are another staple. Last week, the Eastern Cape wildlife department warned motorists that a 12‑metre male was spotted near the N2 bridge after heavy rains flooded its usual hideout. They recommend slowing down, using high beams, and avoiding roadside parking in flood‑prone areas until the animal moves on.
