The Nile river: a vast flowing waterway known for its exotic beauty, enriching properties, and plethora of game; pleads to all who come across it to partake in the rich bounty it offers. However, as with many things that portray splendor and magnificence, the pristine river can shroud various dangers that may urge those who get close to be wary. While certain insects and the river’s violent rapids are cause for alarm; the array of animals that dwell within the waters will certainly make those hazards seem insignificant. Hippos who occupy the cooling waters, snakes that slither on the river’s edge, and venomous spiders are an immediate peril; but one of the most dangerous creatures lies just beneath the waves. The greatest threat is one that cannot be seen, as the Nile crocodile: the apex predator of the lush river dwells just beneath the calm waters, waiting for those careless enough to cross its path.

Here we have the alluring Dakari, crawling out from the flowing waters onto the sun baked shore, enticing her “prey” with her ample frame, but her mischievous toothy grin may be sending mixed signals don’t you think? You know what they say about a crocodile’s smile, right? Well…I wonder if that applies to Dakari in this instance? Guess you wont know her intentions until you approach her, will you be prey or lover; and are you ready to take that risk? This amazing pic was done by the ever awesome atryl who did a magnificent job featuring the lovely Dakari! I hope you all enjoy, now who’s ready for a swim?

*TRIVIA: Dakari has stated that she has a fondness for cats; coincidentally, the main allies that seem to openly trust her are felines (Orion, Seraphi, Kamala).
