Kruger Park's crocodiles dying

Something's very wrong with the crocodile population of the Olifants and Letaba Rivers in the Kruger National Mark (KNP). Since the end of May, 120 crocodiles have died. It seems they have died of pansteatitis (a hard, orange thickening of fat, especially in the tail section). The KNP's animal experts are battling to find the cause of this. Swedish experts were called in to analyse the dead crocs' fat and flesh. According to their findings, there were traces of DDT but not enough to cause death. Veterinary surgeons, scientists, researchers, rangers and managers met in Skukuza recently to discuss the issue.
