Photo taken in November, 2013 @ BestZOO, The Netherlands
This Dwarf Crocodile isn't easy to catch on camera; the glass he's behind is very reflective, and he's prone to hiding. Which isn't strange, as the species is known to be timid.
Though it is a really small reptile, I wouldn't get too close to him, because those teeth look big and sharp enough to hurt you. Personally, I like the angle I managed in this photo

Species: Dwarf Crocodile (Breedvoorhoofdkrokodil)
Latin name: Osteolaemus Tetraspis
Originates from west Africa.
Current status: Vulnerable
Did you know:
…It is also called the Broad-snouted or Bony Crocodile.
…The Dwarf Crocodile is the smallest extant (still alive) crocodile species in the world.
…Due to its small size, the Dwarf Crocodile has a heavily armed neck, back and tail.
