West African Crocodile (Crocodylus suchus)Observer
gegoDescription
For information, a guide saw a young crocodile in 2015 at Guelta d'Archeï, which proves that, despite the environmental difficulties, these species manage to reproduce.
In 2006 they were counted at 9 individuals.
In the early 2000s, a study conducted by scientists revealed that these species mainly fed on camel droppings. Like what we must believe in the adaptability of nature.
Fortunately, the Toubou people who live in northern Chad consider these crocodiles to be sacred.

memopobDescription
Part of 55 yr old collection.
Sparse at site when collected.
Recent visit shows marked improvement in numbers. Well done conservationists! Feral peafowl at the southern end of track are a bit of a concern though. Could they eventually present a risk?
Shell quite thick and limey under the outer membranes
