Killer

Photo taken in November, 2013 @ BestZOO, The Netherlands

This Dwarf Crocodile isn't easy to catch on camera; the glass he's behind is very reflective, and he's prone to hiding. Which isn't strange, as the species is known to be timid.

Though it is a really small reptile, I wouldn't get too close to him, because those teeth look big and sharp enough to hurt you. Personally, I like the angle I managed in this photo
