taken from Ezemevelo KZN Wildlife Facebook page - In spite of a shark being blamed earlier for decapitating an estimated 3.5m crocodile at St Lucia (http://www.2oceansvibe.com/2013/01/14/shark-blamed-for-decapitated-crocodile-head-washing-up-on-st-lucia-beach-video/), it was later discover...ed by Ezemvelo staff that it was more likely to be a victim of a poaching incident. Suggestions were also made that it may have been a hippo, until staff turned over the remains of the head of the croc, it was apparent that the tongue was missing. It was clear that someone had used a sharp object to cut it underneath to remove the tongue. Further south, towards the Mfolozi mouth, two other pieces of the croc were also discovered. It was strongly believed that these belonged to the same head that had been found initially. The crocodile is estimated to have been dead for about 3-4 days judging by the carcass smell, and the evidence of maggots on the head. It should therefore be noted that suggestions of a giant Great White are unfounded. However, it also suggests that the fight against poaching is not only limited to Rhino, and in some areas elephant. Other species such as Oribi, vultures, cycads, orchids and many others are poached, and more often than not persecuted. It is Ezemvelo's hope that poaching on a larger scale will be highlighted, and that the nation as a whole, who are charged with conserving biodiversity, would learn the value of biodiversity, and the provision of ecosystem services that we freely enjoy.

only when the last river has been polluted, and the last tree been cut down, and the last fish been caught, will we realise we cannot eat money
