Only two eyes break the surface of the murky river, perfectly still. Then a small fish bolts beneath the surface — and the great crocodile surges after it along the same line, closing the gap in a few powerful strokes. One lunge, and the jaws close around it. It is over in a heartbeat. What follows is calm: the saltwater crocodile glides away across the open river, carrying its catch in its jaws, until the water settles flat and green again.
