The Crocodiles of the Okavango Delta have suffered from over-hunting in the past and it was only intervention of few conservation-minded individuals - and an intricate under water system of tunnels - that saved the species.

For many years guides and locals in the upper reaches of the Okavango Delta wondered where Crocodiles disappeared to when they moved from view into the vast papyrus beds that dominated this part of the Delta.
Recent discoveries have shown a vast network of tunnels under the papyrus that enable the animals to navigate from one side of a papyrus float to the other in a matter of seconds. The underground lairs also allow the Crocodiles to stay hidden for extended lengths of time.
