In Australia's Top End wetlands the freshwater crocodile is feared and well-rsepected for its killing skill.  It's arsenal includes powerful jaws that open very wide , its adaptive dentication (i.e. its scary teeth) and above all its startling speed.  But I was also quite taken by its patience and ability to blend into its surroundings so seamlessly.  This fellow lay there, a grayish flat hulk on the grayish sand and surrounded by weathered grayish shore debris.  Word to the wise: don't go near the shore on foot or in a small boat in these waters anytime.
