Deaths

The Nile Crocodile is considered to be one of the most dangerous reptiles in the world and is responsible for nearly to over 1,000 deaths in Africa every year. One study posited the number of attacks by Nile crocodiles per year as 275 to 745, of which 63% are known to be fatal. Because these reptiles live in close proximity to humans, attacks are frequent which can lead to more possible fatal attacks. Mariofan 520 (talk) 02:17, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Miocene fossil record?

While many of the fossil specimens assigned to the nile crocodile come from the Quarternary, these papers imply that fossil Nile crocodiles have been found as far back as the Miocene. https://www.nature.com/articles/nature00880, https://www.nature.com/articles/318173a0--Bubblesorg (talk) 20:01, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
