Close-up texture of a the shin on a Nile Crocodiles back, Western Cape Province, South Africa
The Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) is an African crocodile and the second largest extant reptile in the world, after the saltwater crocodile. The Nile crocodile is quite widespread throughout sub-saharan Africa, occurring mostly in the central, eastern, southern and some western parts of the continent and lives in different types of aquatic environments such as lakes, rivers and marshlands. Although capable of living in saline environments, this species is rarely found in saltwater, but occasionally inhabits deltas and brackish lakes. The range of this species once stretched northward throughout the Nile, as far north as the Nile delta. On average the Nile crocodile is between 4.1 metres (13 ft) to 5 metres (16 ft), weighing around 410 kg (900 lb). However, specimens measuring 6.1 metres (20 ft) in length and weighing 900 kg (2, 000 lb) are not uncommon. They have thick scaly skin that is heavily armored

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details and mesmerizing texture of a Nile Crocodile's shin. Taken in the Western Cape Province of South Africa, this close-up shot allows us to appreciate the remarkable beauty and strength of one of Africa's most formidable creatures. The Nile crocodile, scientifically known as Crocodylus niloticus, is not only an African native but also holds the title for being the second largest reptile on Earth. Only surpassed by its saltwater counterpart, this species can reach impressive lengths of up to 6.1 meters (20 ft) and weigh a staggering 900 kg (2,000 lb). Its thick scaly skin provides it with exceptional protection against potential threats. While predominantly found in sub-Saharan Africa's central, eastern, southern regions, these crocodiles are adaptable to various aquatic environments such as lakes, rivers, and marshlands. Although they can tolerate saline conditions, they are rarely spotted in saltwater habitats but occasionally inhabit deltas and brackish lakes. Once populating the entire length of the Nile River up until its delta region in northern Egypt, their range has since diminished due to human activities. Nonetheless, their presence remains significant throughout much of Africa. Dewald Kirsten skillfully captures this awe-inspiring creature through his lens at Fine Art Storehouse. This print serves as a reminder of nature's diversity and resilience while showcasing the magnificence that lies within even seemingly mundane aspects like a crocodile's textured shin.
