Great shots and thanks for the cautionary tale about extremities outside of the boat.

Beautiful photographs. You had quite the trip as your photographs show.
My biggest fear was none of the animals but snakes. Thankfully I never did see one.

Fantastic photos and a great narrative to go with them. I really feel you should have gotten closer to the one with the dragonfly on it to really capture the dragonflies eyes too.

Wonderful, as usual! We have the same crocodile problem in the canals here in South Florida. I remember the story of a beautiful young jogger who stopped to cool her legs in a canal, and was suddenly taken. They jump out of the water, also, and move quickly on land. Be careful! And keep taking your marvelous pictures!

Love the perspective of that first one! Wow set, again!
You made me curious about the African critter dangers, so I looked up 'Most Dangerous African animals'. Surprisingly, #1 is the mosquito, then the Tetsi fly! Large animals it is a contest what is next: snake(s). Large animals: Hippos, then Elephants, Lions, Crocs...
In the USA... #1 is HUMANS (We are very dangerous critters).

Yup, I would of thought it was the hippo which I heard is the one of the most aggressive.

Pictures be damned. I'm just glad you made it home with both feet. On a more serious note, I did enjoy your shots. I'm not sure that (1) they would have had a canoe that wouldn't sink with me aboard and (2) that I would have had the nerve to get up off the floor of the canoe to take pictures. Well done.

Cool series of a very dangerous critter. The first shot is very interesting.

Great series, Beth, I would be scared too. But the hippos in the background of your last picture are more dangerous to humans than the crocs are.

Great photos of the scenes you saw here, Beth.
There is something I distinctly remember that was told to me about Africa. The moment you step on land, you drop to the bottom of the food chain.
