Deadly Nile crocodile kills hundreds of people every year

The Nile crocodile is the largest crocodilian in Africa and is sometimes regarded as the second largest crocodilian after the Saltwater crocodile. The male crocodile usually measure from 11.5 to 16 feet long (3.5 to 5 meters), but very old, mature ones can grow to 18 ft (5.5 m) or more. Males usually weigh about 1100 lbs (500 kg), but can very large & old specimens can reach up to 2000 lbs (909 kg).[5] The largest accurately measured male was shot near Mwanza, Tanzania and measured 6.45 m (21.3 ft) and weighed approximately 1,090 kg (2,400 lb). Like all crocodiles they are sexually dimorphic, with the males up to 30% larger than the females, though the difference is even more in some species, like the Saltwater crocodile. Mature female nile crocodiles measure 8 to 13 feet long (2.5 to 3.9 meters) and typically weigh 227-300 kg (500-660 lbs).

@omega45red Your a dumb ass, you didn't earn any privileges you own today, so you don't have a right to judge people based on factors they didn't choose for themselves.

What is a person supposed to do? look around and say "hey, guess I'm not going to be a fat ass on you tube so i guess I'll live a lonely life till I die?"

No way, they live life the way it they can, your thinking is so sad, south Africa's poor would even pity you.

@mkocja5a I agree with you 100% if the death is accidental so be it...i wish no one to get killed but if u go into its territory what do you expect that it'll pat you on the back and say get out but next time you wont be so lucky -it'll do whats natural to it...flee or attack - sad tht some ppl cannot understand that they encroach on its habitat...

@10rosegarden14 people are so selfish and ignorant, they get into an animals natural habitat and then they blame the animal when they get killed by it. i love crocs and i'm happy they kill alot of people so they get revenge on their selfish, cowardly, gun using asses :D

Hippos r crocodiles natural enemys they can kill crocodiles. But if the crocodile is more than 22 feet the crocodile is able to kill the hippo.Snakes eat small crocodiles but adult crocodiles kill snakes no matter ho big r they. Adult crocodiles,caimans,alligators,­and gavials or gharials kill snakes they even kill pythons & anacondas. i hope this informed u :)
