Darwin Jumping Crocs is a small video of a tour visiting the crocodiles in Darwin.

More than 40 years ago now, the Australian Saltwater Crocodile was facing extinction. Crocodiles had been extensively hunted by European settlers for more than 50 years due to the value of their skin. The number of wild crocodiles was estimated to be as low as 3000 by the early 1970’s.
​
As a result of pressure from conservation groups , croc hunting was eventually banned in the early 70’s and croc numbers have now recovered to sustainable numbers.

The Crocs are wild and the behaviours we show you are based on natural hunting techniques used for catching birds and flying foxes. The crocodiles of this river know the sound and sight of tour boats and know what to expect.
​
The crocodile is a cold blooded animal, they bask in the sun during the cooler months of June, July, and early August. Most of the time it’s warm, Crocodiles are buried in the mud, under the trees in the shade.
