Wild crocodile often cause problems and damage to livestock to commercial farming in areas

To avoid the destruction of these individuals Tangala often captures them and relocate them back to our wildlife reserve

Example of a crocodile being released back into the reserve

Notice the perfect camouflage of these big reptiles even though they are often found on land

Crocodiles are very active at night time and most of these captures take place in cages during the late hours of night

It sometimes happens that relocated individuals again leave the confines of a wildlife reserve which could lead to optimistic problems. These animals are then captured by hand normally on dry land to be relocated again

This relocated individual was unfortunately killed inside the water by a herd of buffalo

Notice the head perfectly adapted to swim through water

One of the wound found on the crocodile caused by a buffalo horn
