Crocodylus niloticus
This adolescent croc (a guess based on it's moderate size) was using a very efficient hunting method. Having positioned itself in a swift stream so that it was mostly concealed by the rushing water, it lay waiting for fish to swim straight into it's mouth.
Mzima spring supplies fresh water to the coast, via a pipeline system. Close to it's source, it provides a home for hippos, crocodile, two kinds of fish, and an assortment of other wildlife that lives in the lush foliage the spring provides.
