PESO: AFRICAN SNAKE DARTER

2024-12-01 Thread Alan C
Taken at Hippo Dam, Kruger Park Lodge, Mpumalanga, adjacent to the 
Kruger Park on the Sabj River.


Darters are related to Cormorants but swim with their bodies totally 
submerged so appearing like a swimming snake. They spear small fish with 
their sharp beaks.


A very hot weekend.
