-------------------------
The saltwater crocodile is the king of all 27 species of crocodilian. They grow to be the largest, most fierce and most misunderstood reptile on the planet! These perfectly evolved predators are a direct link to our prehistoric past. These incredible animals have been on the planet, unchanged, for over 65 million years.
The most stable population of salties’ is right here in Australia. You’ll find them in north Queensland, across the Northern Territory and into Broome in Western Australia. However, fragmented populations remain throughout south-east Asia, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands. These impressive carnivores are capable of reaching up to seven metres in length and weighing over 1,000 kilograms. At this size, they are capable of eating wild pigs, deer, kangaroos and even cattle or wild buffalo!
