Zebra crossings stalled by crocodile attack

HerdTracker update 19 Aug 2015 by Governors’ Camp

Hi Carel,

She fought the crocodile off although suffered a broken le

A good evening of photography and action. The movement of zebra at the moment are suffering heavy mortality rates due to the amount of crocodiles.
