The Nile crocodile ranges throughout Africa and shows considerable variations throughout its range. Crocodile populations can even be found in the Sahara desert. Generally, the Nile crocodile is large and can reach up to 5 m in length, with those in cooler climates only growing up to 4 m. Most juvenile Nile crocodiles in South Africa are a dark olive brown with black banding across the body and tail. This banding fades during adulthood.
