Photo of a crocodile in Saint Lucia lake, South Africa. We actually hired a small rowing boat for a joyful lake ride when we spotted this incredibly dangerous crocodile. On the photo, the crocodile looks peaceful as it enjoys the morning sun, but if you have ever watched a wildlife documentary about wildebeest migration, you probably know what crocodiles are capable of. Believe me, we were not very peaceful after this sinister encounter!
