THE NILE CROCODILE  


 * Nile Crocodiles usually measure between 3.3 and 5 m (11 and 16 feet), exceptionally to 6 m (20 ft) ||

Information found on wikipedia. 
 * * Adult Nile Crocodiles prey upon antelope like the Wildebeest, Thompson's Gazelle and Impala, Baboons, Zebra, Buffalo, Warthogs, Hyenas, Leopards, Lions, Giraffe and other Crocodiles (including their own species). Rare attacks by large Crocodiles have been recorded on full-grown Hippopotamuses and African Elephants, though they are never known to be successful. || * Nile crocodile can, and sometimes will, easily snatch and devour a human.
 *  They can eat up to half their body weight at a time. ||
 * * They normally dive for only a couple of minutes, but will stay underwater for up to 30 minutes if threatened, and if they remain inactive they can hold their breath for up to 2 hours.
 * Nile Crocodiles live not only in the area of the Nile river but near other African rivers and streams and on the island of Madagascar. || * Conservation status:least concerned. ||


 * __Proposal__**

I plan to do my project on the Nile Crocodile. It will mostly be about what they eat, where they live and important facts about them.
