More crocs than meet the eye in Durban lagoons
By Duncan Guy
Durban - There could be more crocodiles in lagoons around Durban than meet the eye.
âBut they are very secretive creatures. The chances are that if one was seen somewhere there would likely be more in that place,â reptile expert Neville Wolmarans told The Independent on Saturday after a recent sighting of a 1.4m Nile crocodile in the Tongati lagoon, reported by eMdloti resident Shivani Moodley.
Lagoons along the coast were attractive to creatures like this one, and for a variety of reasons, said Womarans.
Any young men who have issues with their fatherâs generation can be grateful they are from the Hominidae family in their house on dry land and not from the Crocodylidae, down in the river.

Imagine driving along the M4 in the middle of the afternoon on what seems to be a regular Saturday.
You re listening to some radio (preferably ECR) when you spot something on the side of the river.
It couldn t be what you think it is, right?
This might have been a thought that crossed Shivani Moodley s mind, but she did instantly recognise the creature she was seeing on the banks of the river.
