The lake is known for the high concentration of crocodiles at 9.6/km in certain zones, with average density of 6.3/km for all crocodile size classes. The density varies in its habitat zones, over a distance of 1 kilometre (0.62&#160;mi) and 1.5 kilometres (0.93&#160;mi) length from the shore line. In the rocky shores, the density was reported to be 0.2/km. However, from 1 kilometre (0.62&#160;mi) from the shore line called the <a href="/wiki/Conocarpus" title="Conocarpus">conocarpus</a> fringe, the density was recorded as 14.5/km. They grow in size up to the age of 2 years when their size is in the range of 0.9–1.8 metres (3.0–5.9&#160;ft). They are found in shallow water zones also and feed on <a href="/wiki/Cichlid" title="Cichlid">cichlids</a> (<i><a href="/wiki/Nandopsis" title="Nandopsis">Nandopsis haitiensis</a></i>).
