The river once boasted of hippos, but now they are gone.
Instead the dam is riven with crocodiles.
A number of villagers have lost their lives in the past while fishing in the dam from the Nile Crocodiles.
There are several species of fish found in the dam, mostly in the family of tigerfish found in Lake Kariba.
The dam's lifespan is under threat from the upstream dwellers, especially those in Mataga and districts in Zvishavane who till in the catchment of the dam producing silt.
