A woman has recounted the moment she saw her friend get killed by an enormous saltwater crocodile. Model Ginger Meadows had been to visit Australia after watching the movie Crocodile Dundee, having gone out on a trip on the Lady G, a luxurious boat, before planning to head on to Papua New Guinea.

Could mugger crocodiles be brought back from regional extinction in Bangladesh?
On Oct. 17, a mugger crocodile (Crocodylus palustris), also zoologically known as a marsh crocodile, was recovered from the Bhubaneswar River in Bangladesh’s south-central Faridpur district, creating much excitement among local people, as the reptile species had not been seen in the locality in the last 70 years. Seeing a crocodile floating in the river, […]

Sixteen Scenes from 2016

Serengeti’s bone crushers
This is another post from my trip to the Serengeti in September. The abundance of prey and predators is a perfect environment for Spotted Hyaenas, which are also known as ‘laughing hyaenas’. The hideous ‘laugh’ is really a signal of submission. Hyaena can also be spelt hyena, but I prefer the former because these are […]

Serengeti birdlife in spring
It was mid-September in the western Corridor of the Serengeti. A bit early for most of the migrants, but there were a few early arrivals.

10 below 100 – my reflection on 2014
Good day folks! I bet the title of this blog post has you perplexed. Since January 2010 I have made it a habit of posting a collection of my personal best moments in nature photography on my blog. I know some people scoff at this trend (obviously because many photographers seem to be doing it […]
