Interestingly, the last wild nile crocodile (crocodylus niloticus which are the only endemic crocodiles in South Africa) recorded on the lower South Coast was a notorious crocodile which had been terrorizing bathers on the Uvongo beach and which was finally shot in 1864 at the base of the Uvongo waterfall. Historical research shows that the nile crocodile was found in all river systems north of the Buffalo river in East London while there is empirical evidence suggesting that that all of the major rivers on the South Coast boasted healthy crocodile populations in the early 1800’s.
