Crocs ply flood waters as killer Kenyan storms fry pelicans
| Quote From Source: | NAIROBI (AFP) - Dozens of man-eating crocodiles plied flood waters along Kenya's Indian Ocean coast after heavy thunderstorms that killed at least six people and fried nearly 50 pelicans.
About 30 of the carnivorous reptiles were spotted swimming near children's playgrounds and municipal parks in Kilifi, frightening parents in the coastal town where floods have claimed at least six lives in the past week, officials said Saturday.
"We have confirmed that there are crocodiles in the flood waters that are fast approaching residential areas," Kilifi lawmaker Joe Khamisi told reporters in the town, about 550 kilometers (345 miles) southeast of Nairobi.

That plus the fact that thousands of acres have burned down there forcing several of them to "relocate" causing crowding and competition for food. Nothing like a tender female. Three of them killed so far.
