Heya Lovelies…It has been a while since I Shared a Photograph of one of my passions >>Wildlife<<. So allow me to treat you to a few pics of Basking Nile Crocodiles, photographed in the Kruger National Park, South Africa during a quick weekend away during August 2016.
While you enjoy these pics, Here are a few Interesting Crocodile facts worth a read…

~They are famous for being the World’s Largest Living reptiles, and can live between 70-100 years.
