Crocodiles of Katavi

I've just got back from a trip up to western Tanzania, out near Lake Tanyanika... We went to shoot a show on the big crocodiles there that crawl deep into burrows and caves in the dry river bank.

We came across individuals of around 19/20 feet long, huge animals that you could get within a few feet of if you crawled into the burrow with them.

Dr Brady Barr managed to break the all time bite force record by registering a bite from an unrestrained big croc... Over 5000lbs. He also caught one animal of 19 feet.

Katavi is an incredible part of the world, wild and largely unmanaged, its really out of the way and one feels isolated out there.
