There are crocodiles, but it's a bit like road traffic. If you do the right thing and are careful on the road you're okay. If you play around on the road you're history.

Recreational fishermen consider the lotus a weed. Years back when feral buffalo over ran the place they trampled and destroyed a lot of lotus beds. There was a big eradication campaign, the buffalo were mostly wiped out and the lotus began to make a comeback. Now the fishermen complain.
