“…According to interviews persons, including local inhabitants and Ranch staff, suggest that two or three crocodile species existed in the Ranch. While some works of [6] and [7] on the distribution of crocodiles in the NGR which affirmed also the existence of two or three species of crocodiles. However, our surveys only detected one species Crocodylus suchus and it is almost certain that prior records of other species are a case of mistaken identity by the local people.…”

In Burkina Faso, human activities are practiced in Nazinga Game Ranch (NGR) which is colonized by West African crocodiles Crocodylus suchus (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1807) decades ago. This study which aims to estimate impact of anthropogenic activities on abundance of C. suchus has been conducted in NGR reservoirs. For data collection, C. suchus populations were counted morning, afternoon and night from October 2015 to May 2017 in 11 reservoirs. Binoculars were used for remote observations and spotlight was used by night. According to the size of the sites and its accessibility, direct observations were carried out on foot or by canoe. Every time we observed crocodiles, they were numbered and added information such as their size, their behavior, geographical coordinates and the type of habitat were collected. Human activities were noted after direct observations. The R software version 3.5.3 was used for data analysis. A total of 1849 crocodiles including hatchlings, juveniles, subadults and adults were counted in these 11 reservoirs of the NGR. They were more abundant in reservoirs than rivers with highest abundances in Akalon, Akwazena, Kalieboulou and Barka. Crocodile showed very high visibility at night their abundances showed important correlation with human activities and environmental factors such as roads, fishing, tourism, moon phases and "died crocodiles" and in NGR.

“…This species is only recently recognized, having been separated from the Nile crocodile (C. niloticus) [5]. Crocodylus suchus is smaller than the C. niloticus and less inclined to attack humans or livestock [6].…”
