Crocodile Pens at Nairobi Mamba Village:
The crocodile species found here is the Nile Crocodile.
It is one of the three species common in Africa and the biggest as well.
It is a man eater.
The Nile Crocodile is a well-known animal owing to its huge size.
The crocodile has four short, splayed legs, a long powerful tail.
It has a scaly hide with rows of scales that run down the back to end of its tail. Its mighty jaws are regarded as its greatest asset and weapon.
The crocodile’s eyes and ears are also located on the top of their heads. This enables it to conceal the rest of its body underwater.
Juvenile crocodiles are grey, dark olive or brown – though the cross-bands on their tail and body are darker.
As they mature the juveniles hide gets darker as the cross-bands fade away.
The colour of the Crocodile’s skin makes it easy for the reptile to lay in wait patiently for unsuspecting prey.
At the Nairobi Mamba Village, the existing pens are flanked by grayish rocks and sand beds where the Croc’s bask – within a richly vegetated background meant to mimic their wild and natural habitat.
Mamba Village, Nairobi Ostrich Park
Amazing integration of nature and man activities with an opportunity to see savannah ostrich in an extensive area and yet get close enough to feed them from your hand.

Your day today will have been well spent, enjoy.
