In order to test the relative importance of anthropogenic and environmental variables determining the Nile crocodile distribution in Lake Nasser, Egypt, we conducted systematic crocodile counts at night in 2018. We surveyed about 30% of the shorelines. The survey lasted for 20 nights from August to October 2018, and each team covered approximately 45 km of shoreline per night. The survey started one hour after sunset and continued for about 5.5 hours each night. Crocodiles were detected through their eye reflections during the spotlight survey.
