West African slender-snouted crocodile

The slender-snouted crocodile is a rare African reptile with a long, narrow jaw that helps it catch fish. It lives in West Africa's rivers and wetlands, where its sleek shape makes it a stealthy hunter. This crocodile is in serious trouble, with its numbers shrinking fast.

• Its thin snout helps it swipe sideways to grab fish.
• One of only five crocodile species found in Africa.
• Classified as Critically Endangered due to habitat loss and hunting.
