Nile Crocodile Resting along a Papyrus-Lined Waterway

Papyrus Habitats along African Rivers
Papyrus sedges grow in shallow water and along marshy riverbanks throughout tropical Africa. These tall aquatic plants create dense thickets that offer shade and hiding spots for reptiles sunning themselves near the water edge.
