Can you tell me some of your details first? W: Of course. M: What’s your occupation? W: I’m a first year student. M: Are you an Australian? W: No. I’m from New York. M: So you are American ? W: Yes. M: What’s your full name? W: My name is Ariel Lee. M: Tell me your contact number please? W: It is 46283095 . And my address? M: No. We just need your contact number. W: OK. Can you introduce me some attractions? M: Obviously it varies, but always places of famous main resorts, such as Sydney, Melbourne or some places like that. W: Just tour resorts? I mean does that include other activities? M: Yes. Besides main resorts we will arrange for you to enjoy some local refreshments and some special activities. W: So, how much does it cost? M: Usually, it varies between $20 dollars and $35 dollars per head, depending on the place. W: And what is the departure date and time? M: It depends on various tours. But try to keep the departure time fixed. W: When? M: 7 o’clock in the morning. W: And how about the transport? M: We have a minibus or coach depending on the number of tourists. W: May I need a reservation? M: Yes. You know summer holidays are coming. So I suggest that tourists reserve a seat in advance . W: Is there a discount for that? M: I’m sorry. We do not have any discounts during peak season. W: Could you tell me some details of the trips? M: Yes, the first place is Sydney. That’s on the 12th of January. We’ll have twenty-five people in a minibus. W: Fine. Going to which attraction? M: We will visit one of the most famous theatres in the world. W: The Sydney Opera House? M: Right. You can appreciate to watch an opera there. W: Really? What’s the name of the opera? M: I’m not sure. Let me check the House’s arrangements. And then you can visit the National Museum to know about the history and customs of Australia. W: Great. M: In the evening you can enjoy some local snacks if you like. W: Fine. M: We’re going to the Blue Mountains on the 25th of January. W: Blue Mountains? Is it a blue mountain? M: The mountain got its name for blue fog. It is usually covered by a blue fog. W: That’s so interesting. M: Yes. It is a popular place for young men because they are so cool and you can enjoy lots of sports there, such as rock climbing, bush-walking, and bird watching. W: How many people will go there together? M: You will take a coach that has about 30 seats. W: Fine. M: And the next place is Melbourne on the tenth of February with about twenty people in a minibus. W: What’s the resort? You could appreciate the famous Melbourne Church and maybe you might have a chance to attend a local exhibition if they hold it as usual. W: Fine. Do you have some tours to the beach? M: Yes. One of the most famous coral reefs in the world is the Great Barrier Reef and we arrange that on the 23rd of February . W: I’m looking forward to visiting there. M: Yes. Many people like there. There are some interesting water sports, such as diving and swimming in the water or just taking a photo of coral. W: Great. I guess there will be many people. M: Yes. But our coach is only for thirty people all together. W: That’s so great. Can you book a seat for me now? M: Yes. And I will confirm your reference number later by telephone, OK? W: Right. Thank you very much. M: You’re welcome. I hope you will enjoy the trip.

M: Good morning. I’d like to open a bank account, please. W: Good morning. What kind of account do you want to open? M: I’m not sure. Perhaps you can give me some suggestions. I only want to deposit money in the bank and pay all kinds of bills easily. W: Fine. I’ve got the application form here. First of all, can I have your full name please? M: Richard Lee. W: Fine, Richard, what’s your occupation? M: I’m studying a Doctor degree now although I was a dentist before coming here. W: Well, so you are a student. M: What kind of account can you suggest for me? W: How about a Deposit Account? M: What’s the difference between that and a current account? W: There are many differences such as the interest rate, overdraft and service and so on. M: Fine. I will take your recommendation. W: OK. Let’s talk about the main two account cards of the Deposit Account. M: Fine. W: One card is called the Solo Card and the other one is named Master Card . M: Which one is better for me? W: Let me introduce you to some differences of the two cards. M: OK. W: The first one is annual interest rate. M: Which one is higher? W: Of course. It is the Master Card. At present its rate is 5.5 percent, but the Solo Card is only 2.5 percent .

M: How about the other differences? W: The service supplied with the two cards. M: Could you speak specifically? W: We usually supply Internet service and mobile service with all of the cards, of course including the Solo Card . M: Yes. I’d like to ask for the service of mobile and oh, does Solo Card have an overdraft? W: I’m sorry. But Master Card has such a service. M: Fine. W: If you want to take more money out of the bank than you have in it – be very careful – you should not do this without the bank permission and you will have to pay some charge. M: Do you mean interest? W: No. I mean the overdraft charge. M: How much is that charge? W: According to the bank rules the minimum fee is about 2%. M: Fine. W: The last item of the two cards is the requirement. There is no limitation of the Solo Card, but if you want to get Master Card you should deposit a minimum sum of fifteen hundred pounds in the first time. M: Oh. What’s the requirement of money? W: What do you mean? M: I mean I cannot deposit cash when I open a bank account. W: Don’t worry! We accept cash and check or even money order. M: Great. W: So which card do you decide to open? M: I’d like to open the Master Card. W: A good choice. How often would you like to receive your statement? M: Monthly please. W: OK. The last one you should know is the opening time. Banks usually open from 9:00 a.m until 4:30 p.m from Monday to Friday, but most branches open until 3:30 p.m. on Saturdays. M: OK, I see. Thank you very much. W: You’re welcome.

(S=Student; T=Tutor)

S: Good morning. Oh, it just hit twelve. Good morning. Mrs. Potter, may I come in? T: Oh, Jerry, of course. Come in and take a seat please. S: Thank you. T: Well, how about your assignment? S: Do you mean my paper? T: Yes. S: I still think about the draft, but I hope you can give me some help and suggestions. T: Of course. How long will it take you to finish your draft? S: Er… I’m not sure, may be three days? T: My advice is that you should spend a lot of time on your draft. As you know a good beginning is very important for a paper. A good draft can help you outline your paper even benefit your argument. S: OK. I will try my best to write up my work. Mrs. Potter, how many parts in a paper? T: Generally speaking, there are four parts and references. S: So there are five parts? T: Right. Contents, introduction, main body … S: And conclusion? T: Yes, and the bibliography.

S: So how about the word limitation of my paper? T: According to the requirements you have to write at least three thousand words and not over five thousand. S: OK. Three to five thousand. T: Right. How about your research? S: I haven’t begun to do the research.

T: Why? S: Because I’m not sure about the research method. I mean I cannot decide to use which one now. T: I remember I suggested you to use the method of interview. S: Yes, but I think maybe questionnaire is better for my work. T: Really? Tell me your reason. S: I have to spend some time of the day on a part-time job, so I think maybe a questionnaire is a good way to collect the data that I need. T: Fine. Oh, do you search resources or data from the Internet? S: Yes. I think it is a good way to collect data and as you know it can help save lots of time. T: Jerry, in fact, many students do most of their research on the Internet. You might think that it is an easier way to get resources but most data are from highly unreliable resources. So be critical. S: OK, I will pay attention to that. T: Then, there are some things you should consider when you write the paper. S: OK. T: Be careful with your references and quotations and do not share other people’s work. I mean you should write clearly about reference book and do not forget to acknowledge the original writers. Otherwise, you will be failed for plagiarism. S: OK, I’ve got it. T: The other point is … S: Deadline? T: No. Deadline is the date of handing in your work. You’d better hand it in on time. But if you have a reasonable excuse you can ask for an extension. S: Fine. Sorry to interrupt you. T: That’s OK. The other point you should pay attention to is your research data. S: OK. I will write them clearly. Oh, Mrs. Potter could you recommend to me some good reference books about the topic of my paper? T: Fine. Let’s check the reference book list. The first one is Drake Wister’s book. S: Right. What’s the title? T: Global Economy. S: Is it the one published by The Cambridge University Press? T: Right. And I think Victoria Smith’s book is a good choice. S: What’s that title? T: The Strategy of Marketing. S: And which publisher? T: London Press. S: Fine. And How about others? T: The book called The Economics Tendency is a good one for your paper. S: Really? And the writer and the publisher? T: The writer is Hilary Justice and the publisher is Oxford University Press. S: Can I borrow it from the library? T: Of course. S: Great. T: And the last one that is helpful to your work is the book of William Hanna. S: How do you spell the surname? T: H-A-N-N-A. S: OK. And the title of his book? T: Business management published by Cambridge University Press. S: OK. T: But you cannot borrow the book from library. S: Why? T: Because it belongs to the closed reserve you have to read it in the library. S: OK. Thank you very much. T: You’re welcome.

(H=Host; F=Farrow)

H: Hello. In today’s programme we have invited Ken Farrow – Head of Financial Crime at Lioyds TSB to introduce some information about credit card fraud. Welcome Farrow. F: Thanks Catherine. H: Has a Chip and PIN given new chances for thieves to steal the details of our credit cards ? F: Maybe. In the past there has been typically 50,000 or 60,000 ATMs in the U.K when people’s PIN could be collected and now there’s hundreds of thousands of points of sale terminals. It’s a fraud where criminals capture details and then make a magnetic stripe card copy. H: How easy is it to do this? F: One way is to modify a terminal so that’s what’s been happening often in the past with cash machines – the same can be done for Chip and PIN terminals. The other way is to replace it with an entire counterfeit. There’ ve been incidences in America and in Europe with entire fake ATMs being set up. The last way is to set up a concealed camera ; and have somebody using sleight of hand to swipe your card through another machine so that you don’t even need to modify the main machine. H: If someone decided to set up a little device to modify one of these hand-held PIN pads, how easy would that be to do? F: Usually it wouldn’t be technically too hard, you just need about a hundred pounds to prepare for some equipment and raw parts , but it would take some engineering time and effort. The terminals themselves have a function of tamper resistance. If you try to open the casing, the machines will shut down and make them inoperative, but there’s only so much they can do against a persistent attacker compared with an ATM. Well once a card is copied and the PIN is obtained, crooks can make a fake card and use the PIN to withdraw money. H: Do all cash machines accept these cards in the U.K? F: Cash machines in the U.K may not accept these cards but many machines abroad will. H: Why? F: It depends on our radar. We can obviously know what they are doing while criminals can’t break the Chip at the moment. Also what they are doing is to use the old method to skim the magnetic strips on the cards. However, they’ve realised that they cannot succeed in the U.K, so they go on to the continent and to other countries in the Far East and use them where ATMs are not secured for Chip use. H: Right, so they can take the old style card and use it abroad and get the cash out more easily? F: That’s right. There is a magnetic strip attached to the card for customers who are travelling. H: So what are you doing about this increase of use in foreign cash machines of card that have been stolen here? F: What we’re doing is to gradually extend our security blanket. That means we will monitor the card usage whether it’s in the U.K or abroad. If we feel there’s something wrong we will contact and confirm with the customer. We’re up against organized crime and organized crime is trying to get one step ahead of us and we’re trying to keep one step ahead of them. H: Yes. How does security work in U.K. machines? Because sometimes fake card will work there as well, won’t they? F: When a bank is looking at its arrangements, it has to balance up convenience to customers with security. H: Yes. So what are you doing to make things more secure? F: I think the Chip and PIN situation has really improved and if you look at the figures in fact hard fraud has dropped by 24% over the last period. I think you can say this programme has done well. H: Yes. I can see the figures but there has been a huge amount of coverage in the press this week. Some banks have stopped using PINs – doesn’t that decrease the public trust in this new system? And some people even think the new system is designed for new fraud. F: I don’t think so. I’m not going to comment on particular cases. What I would say is that usually the evidence of crime has always been with the old technology not with the new. H: So new technology seems to be working well. F: That’s right. H: OK, thanks for your professional introduction. See you next time. F: See you.

Of course. Could I have your name please?

Andrea Brown.

Thank you. And your address?

24. Ardleigh Road. 

Can you spell that?

A-R-D-L-E-l-G-H Road.

Thanks. And can I have your phone number?

Is a mobile alright?

It's 07786643091.

Thank you. And can I ask you where you heard about World Tours? From a friend? Or did you see an advert somewhere?

No. I read about you in the newspaper . 

OK, I'll get the brochures in the post to you but can I give you some information over the phone. What kinds of things do you want to do on your holiday?

I’m interested in going to California with my family. I’ve got two children and we want to hire a car.

OK. We have a couple of self-drive tours there visiting different places of interest in California. The first one begins in Los Angeles and there's plenty of time to visit some of the theme parks there. 

That’s something on my children’s list so I'd want to include that.

Good. Then you drive to San Francisco. From San Francisco you can drive to Yosemite Park where you spend a couple of nights. You can choose to stay in a lodge or on the campsite.

I don't like the idea of staying in a tent . It'd be too hot. 

Right. And the tour ends in Las Vegas.

The other trip we can arrange is slightly different. It starts in San Francisco. Then you drive south to Cambria.

Someone told me there’s a really nice castle near Cambria. Will we go near that? 

Hearst Castle is on that road so you could stop there.

Good. I'd like to do that. Does this trip also go into the desert?

No, it continues to Santa Monica where most people like to stop and do some shopping.

We have enough of that at home so that doesn’t interest us.

Well you could go straight on to San Diego.

That's good for beaches isn’t it? 

That’s right, that's a good place to relax and your children might like to visit the zoo before flying home.

I don’t think so. We want some time for sunbathing and swimming.

So how many days are the trips and how much do they cost?

The first one I told you about is a self-drive tour through California which lasts twelve days and covers 2.020   kilometres. The shortest journey is 206 km and the longest is 632 kilometres. The cost is £525 per person.

That includes accommodation, car rental and a flight but no meals.     

And the other trip?

That lasts nine days but you spend only three days on the road. You cover about 980 kilometres altogether.

So is that cheaper then?

Yes, it's almost a hundred pounds cheaper. It’s £ 429 per person, which is  a good deal. 

So that covers accommodation and car hire. What about flights?

They aren’t included. But these hotels offer dinner in the price. 

Well, thank you very much. I'll be in touch when I’ve had a chance to look at the brochure.

I’m pleased to help. Goodbye.

AGENT:                Good morning. City House Services. How may I help you?

CUSTOMER:       Good morning. I’d like to arrange to have my house cleaned.

AGENT:                Certainly. I just need to ask a few questions. First, could I take your name?

CUSTOMER:       Yes, it’s Barbara Hill . (Example)

AGENT:                Thank you. Next, is your house in London?

CUSTOMER:       Yes, it’s in Kingston in Southwest London. (Q1)

AGENT:                OK, Southwest London and… er, what’s the postcode?

CUSTOMER:       SW105.

AGENT:                And what is the square footage and what rooms will we be cleaning?

CUSTOMER:       The whole house is 268 square feet, and there is no need to clean all the rooms. I only want to have my bedrooms cleaned.

AGENT:                OK, how many bedrooms does the house have?

CUSTOMER:       Three bedrooms. Oh no, sorry, we used to have three bedrooms, but we only have two bedrooms now.

AGENT:                Are those single bedrooms or doubles?

CUSTOMER:       Doubles . (Q2)

AGENT:                Fine, two doubles…

CUSTOMER:       There is one more room which needs cleaning. It was used as a bedroom before, and now we have converted it into an office . (Q3)

AGENT:                I understand. Three rooms have got to be cleaned, and are all of those rooms upstairs?

CUSTOMER:       Yes. Then, downstairs we have a kitchen-diner, conserva​tory, and lounge (Q4) . The kitchen-diner is quite large and has the usual equipment – cooker with oven, refriger​ator, cupboards, and worktops. The conservatory has a lot of plants, but there’s no need to take care of them. The lounge has a leather three-piece suite and a large coffee table.

AGENT.                Thank you. And do you keep any pets?

CUSTOMER:       Yeah, I really love keeping them. I’ve got two dogs and three cats.

AGENT:                OK, then if our staff come over to offer the service, please take your pets away. Have you looked at our services packages?

CUSTOMER:       Yes, I have one in front of me.

AGENT:                Excellent.

AGENT:                Any extra services you need (Q5) – switching bed linen, work​ing in the garden, cleaning the glass in the conservatory, that kind of thing?

CUSTOMER:       Err… no… err… actually, replacing the bed linen (Q5) …yes… that would be good.

AGENT:                No problem. I’ll just make a note of that. How about cur​tains, mats, and carpets? What would you like us to do with those items?

CUSTOMER:       The curtains… I’ll have to think about that. I think we should have the carpets cleaned really well every quarter (Q6) . Mats can just be done with the laundry.

AGENT:                Of course. How about clothes? We can have our staff wash and iron them, or we can have them taken to a dry cleaner’s.

CUSTOMER:       Washing and ironing. No, just ironing (Q7) . That’ll be OK..

AGENT:                OK, fine. I know quite a bit about what you want now. I should let you know that we locate on 12 Amyes (Q8) Road, that’s A-M-Y-E-S.

CUSTOMER:       Em.

AGENT:                And we work from Monday to Sunday except Tuesday and Wednesday. Could you let me know when is conveni​ent for you?

CUSTOMER:       Next Friday… err… no, that’s no good. My son invites his friends over in the afternoon that day. Perhaps next Thursday or next Saturday. Let me check, OK, next Thursday . (Q9)

AGENT:                When is it convenient for us to come over and provide the service? Is it OK if we come in the morning? Or we may come in the afternoon? It depends on your schedule. I’m OK with any time. Just give me a call to let me know you’re coming before you arrive.

AGENT:                Sure, we will.

CUSTOMER:        By the way, how long would it take for the service?

AGENT:                We usually work 1-3 hours for house cleaning, and the work will take three hours at most. And of course, if it takes more than three hours (Q10) , you should pay extra for it.

CUSTOMER:        Er… fine.

AGENT:                So, let me just do some calculations…

Hi everyone, and welcome to Sydney Airport. Today, I’ll be giving you the inside information on the day-to-day operations of the Australian Quarantine Service here. We hope to provide you with a better understanding of why such heavy security regulations are necessary by educating you (Q11) on how we operate and why we do the things we do.

We’re not here to try to persuade you to fly through Sydney Airport, though we hope you’ll find your experience relatively stress-free and comfortable.

First things first, our personnel. Can anyone guess how many people work at Sydney Airport? We have 200 alone working in Terminal 2, so can you guess how many in the whole airport? I heard someone say 360, that’s getting closer… What? Did someone say 2,000? That’s way too high. Sydney Airport actually employs 440 people (Q12) . A lot, right? And about half of those employees work in security-related matters..

Moving on to our not-so-human employees, let’s come and see our favourite pooch, Milton. Milton is our best drug-sniffing dog on the force. He’s friendly to most people – you can even come pet him at the end of our tour. Burnouts beware, though, he’ll find everything.

Notice that even though there are so many of us around him, Milton stays quite calm. This is the precise reason he was chosen for the job . (Q13)

Dogs that are chosen are not predisposed to sniff out different nar​cotics – that’s something we teach them already.

So here’s a part of the airport most people never notice – the cargo transport terminal. This is where packages are shipped to and from.

Normally we ship around 4,400 packages per month. In this airport alone, over 52,000 packages were shipped in and out over the past year (Q14) . We ship to and from 170 different countries. Not bad, eh? Prob​ably it will go up to over 72,000 packages this year. And despite over 100 flights in and out of here daily, the number of lost or delayed packages is impressively low. If you send your package through here, rest assured we’ll get it where it’s going.

Let’s move on to the area most of us are familiar with, the passen​ger terminals. In order to be allowed into this area, you must pass through security with your ticket and if you’re travelling internation​ally, your passport. If you’re travelling domestically, you just need a legal form of ID. If you don’t have those, you will not be allowed to pass through security and board your flight.

During the security scan, your carry-on items will be checked for dan​gerous items such as weapons, sharp objects, and liquids that exceed our specified limit. If you attempt to pass any of the prohibited items on this list posted at the entrance, Qyou are still allowed to board the plane, but you’ll be given a warning (Q15) and your item will be confiscated.

Don’t worry, we will not arrest you for having too much shampoo in your bag, or anything like that.

We also search your carry-ons and parcels for any perishable items.

We prohibit the transportation of local vegetation and prohibit par​cels containing any insects in them. You may or may not have learned about this in Biology class, but when some plants are introduced to a new environment, they spread wildly and wipe out the current species around it. It is important to control the introduction of new plants into an ecosystem, so we must prohibit the transport of any fertile seeds . (Q16)

So what happens to parcels containing possibly suspicious items? It’s of course something we do not take lightly here. If an object passes through the scanner that appears suspicious in any way, it is separated out for manual search by a member of our trained security per​sonnel. If an illegal plant or simple sharp object like a pocket knife is found, it is simply disposed of in our biohazard waste containers (Q17) , and the package itself is returned to the sender (or passenger, if it is for a passenger flight). More serious weapons are reported to higher authorities for investigation.

As far as parcel security, the material of the parcel is important. For shipped goods, the most common material used (and the most widely accepted) is paper (Q18) . Make sure it is packed sturdy enough, with no rips or tears. We’ve definitely had packages rip open before due to haphazard packing. A more common problem, though, is the package labels (Q19) . When an item does not make it to the right place, this is the most common reason. The label may not be in the right place or marked clearly enough.

If you’re receiving any items from abroad that must be declared, please remember our guidelines in order to ensure the timely delivery of your item. Make sure it is packed correctly, and we ask that you notify customs between 2 and 10 (Q20) days within the item’s scheduled arrival date.

Okay, before we move on, are there any questions?

MR. SMITH: Welcome! Please come in and gather over here around the tables. My name is Adam Smith, and I’m the librarian here. I’ll show you around today and explain how to use these facilities. Hopefully when I’m done with it, you’ll know the ropes, and please feel free to let me know of any questions or concerns that you may have. Now, we’re at the gate of the library. Upon entering into the door, you’ll find that the restrooms are on your left-hand side, and opposite them is a Photocopy Room. Many of you are wondering about the check-in and check-out process. What you have to do is go to the Circulation Desk, which is to the east of the Photocopy Room. The Reading Room is a really large area in the centre of the library, just to the north of the Circulation Desk (Q21) . I’m sure you won’t miss it. If you’re here to do research, this is where you should bring books to look through. However, if you’re here to do any group projects or other interactive activi​ties, I advise you to use one of the study rooms, which are just to the east of the Reading Room. Moving on to the southeast corner, we have the Periodicals Section, just next to the study rooms (Q22) . We have a collection of dif​ferent newspapers and magazines in this section. You can get last week’s weather reports, or all the top stories five years ago – our periodicals can be traced back 20 years to the time when our school library was built. Ah, our first question! Yes?

STUDENT:           Can we check out magazines from the library?

MR.  SMITH: I’m sorry, but you cannot take any periodicals out of the library. You’re welcome to read them for as long as you want while you’re here, but you cannot check them out.

STUDENT:           I wonder if there is any place where we can get some food in the library. Do we have a store here?

MR.  SMITH: Of course. The Food Service Centre is just metres away from the study rooms. It’s on the northeast corner as you look at the map (Q23) . The Food Service Centre offers different kinds of snacks though it’s not big. Well, moving on along to the west, you will Find the Video Resource Centre on your right hand (Q24) . We have educational videos and documentaries, as well as major motion pictures. We ask that you pay attention to the tag on the video that you pick up, as many of our documentaries are for on-site viewing only and may not be taken out of the library. To the west of the Video Resource Centre is our Satellite TV Station (Q25) . Here we stream the news from Channel 19 for most of the day.

STUDENT:           How many channels does it have?

MR.  SMITH: (laughs) It does have nearly 200 channels, but we general​ly will give top priority to channels with some big events, like presidential addresses or other breaking news. Dur​ing the coverage of the presidential debate, students will take a break from studying and flock to watch it. Last but perhaps most important is the Enquiry Desk. It’s just on the left-hand side when you walk into the library (Q26) , so it’s impossible to miss it. If you have any questions about how to use equipment or where to find something, come and ask the assistant. Don’t be shy, because that’s what they’re here for!

MR.  SMITH: Speaking of questions, one of the questions we get asked is how to actually check out a book once a student has picked one out. If it’s a fiction or non-fiction book, look for the pink and yellow (Q27) check-out card inside the back cover of the book. You can also find information about the book on these cards, including its publishing date, genre, ISBN, and a log of dates it’s been checked out be​fore. Present this card to me or any library assistant, and we’ll stamp it and then the book can be kept for three weeks. You can find general information on a field of study by using one of our subject (Q28) guides. We have them on paper here, but any of our computers will allow you to search within fields as well.

STUDENT:           What if the library doesn’t have a resource we’re looking for?

MR.  SMITH: Great question, I’m going to address that. Our library is in a network with a number of other universities in the area, so if there is something you’re looking for and it’s available somewhere in the area, we’ll be able to get it for you. However, there are universities (Q29) which are not part of the network, so we do not share resources with them. If you want more information about the library and its resources, you’ll find it in a labelled blue folder (Q30) on my desk in the enquiry section. Okay, so that’s a lot of information all at once, and I don’t expect you to remember it all. The most important thing is, please be respectful of the staff and if you need help with anything at all, come and ask me or one of the as​sistants. Alright, any questions?

Good morning. Today, we will continue our study of Crocodylus niloticus by talking about its living habits. We’ve already discussed the evolutionary attributes that set it apart from its crocodile rela​tives. Does everyone remember that?

Yes, it has an extremely narrow snout, and three or four rows of pro​tective scales on its back, as compared to two rows on other members of the Crocodylus genus.

Let’s take a look at how these carnivorous man-eaters live, where they live, and finally, whether they really deserve their vicious reputation.

To start, I’d like to address a great question posed to me by a stu​dent during yesterday’s office hours. We talked about the distri​bution of crocodiles in Africa and saw that they are highly concen​trated in the South and West of the continent. This student noticed that on the map displaying the distribution of crocodiles across Af​rica, there were no crocodiles in the Northern Region, and found no mention in the literature of the existence of crocodiles in the North of Africa (Q31) . Why might there be no crocodiles in North Africa? Let’s save this question for later in the lecture.

To find out more about the social habits of the African crocodile, one researcher named Tara Shine of the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland conducted a survey of the wetlands in Mauritania and received reports of 46 crocodiles living in one group, or float as we say when referring to crocodiles, though the usual number is a little less than half of that . (Q32)

In general, crocodiles are more highly concentrated in wet, subtropical environments near bodies of water and rich vegetation (Q33) . While South American crocodiles thrive in cool rainforests, the African crocodile is more equipped for heat. Though they can survive at the hot tem​peratures found in some deserts, they are not equipped to handle dry climates and thus cannot survive in places like the Sahara Desert of North Africa. As cold-blooded animals, crocodiles’ core temperatures fluctuate from their average of 38 degrees Celsius as external condi​tions change, thus they need to avoid extreme temperatures. Others live an underwater life, keeping a body temperature close to that of the water. As their own unique method of regulating their body tem​peratures, some African crocodiles have made dens by digging holes in the ground to provide themselves with a cool, dark place to retreat from the hot African sun . (Q34)

Speaking of the hot African sun, let’s go back to the question asked at the beginning of the lecture. We know that there used to be croco​diles in Northern Africa, yet today there are none. What are some possible explanations for this?

Some students have suggested that the African crocodile has evolved from a desert creature into a wetland creature, thus causing them to migrate south for more appropriate condition. Others presume that the crocodile was hunted out of Northern Africa by a fiercer preda​tor. While these are intelligent guesses, the real story is a little bit different.

The key to this migration is that the Sahara Desert did not always cover the North of Africa. About 8,000 years ago, the land was fertile wetlands perfect for breeding crocodiles. Over time, though, the area dried out and the wetland slowly turned to desert, leading the African crocodile to migrate south to the marshlands they call home today . (Q35)

Some crocodiles did, however, adapt to living in dry conditions. In Mauritania, some crocodiles have learned to survive in an area where they can go up to 8 (Q36) months with no water by spending the driest of times in what’s called a torpor, or short period of hibernation. To utilise every bit of rainfall, these desert crocodiles dig underground caves that collect runoff, thus staying cool and hydrated.

During the mating period in November and December, males attract females to their viciously protected territory through a number of behaviours that range from snapping their jaws all the way to send​ing infrasonic pulses through the water. Afterwards, the female digs a hole up to 60cm in depth (Q37) to store the eggs for an 80-day incubation period. The female protects these eggs during the period, and some​times even helps crack the eggs with her snout at the end.

These teeth-gnashing carnivores are softer than we think. Although these vicious creatures have attacked humans on a few occasions, the residents are not afraid of (Q38) them. In fact, they show a great deal of rev​erence towards these wondrous creatures. Some say that crocodiles bring water to their habitat, so if they leave, they will bring the water with them. Obviously this is not true, but it demonstrates the admir​ation the inhabiting people have for crocodiles.

Generally, crocodiles do not predate on humans. They attack (Q39) when humans populate the crocodiles’ habitat, instilling fear and uneasi​ness in the crocs. Like any other species, crocodiles are known to at​tack when feeling fear.

There’s still a lot more to be discovered about the African crocodile.

Researchers want to know more about the population size, how many crocodiles inhabit Africa in all, how they form separate floats, etc.

There is still also much to learn about migration patterns (Q40) , and relations to other populations of crocodiles now found in other parts of the world.

Next time, we’ll examine a few specific case studies of crocodile popu​lations in Southern Africa.
