Join the search for the elusive crocodiles of the Ancient River Nile. Despite their revered status in ancient Egypt, the crocodiles of the Upper Nile were hunted into extinction by the 1800s, and the Pharoah's crocodiles were lost forever. Or so it was thought...until reports emerged of sightings of crocodiles in unexpected locations on the fringe of the Sahara desert, a small lake in Mali and a cave in Chad. Could these be the descendents of the Pharaoh's crocodiles? How could they survive in the desert? The mystery is pieced together on a journey across the Sahara, tracking down these remarkable creatures and discovering their true origins.
