Wanna know how far they’ll swim?
I live in Townsville. They had a 4 meter croc kept turning up down our local beach. The rangers captured it and took it 820km north to Lockhart River.
9 months later it crawled out of the water back on our local beach. They are absolutely everywhere up here in North Queensland.

For those who want the basics.

Ones bigger and can live in salt water.

Underestimated? Who in their right mind would underestimate a living dinosaur.

Found across most of Australia's north, not just in the Northern Territory

Just letting everyone know you don’t swim anywhere in freshwater in northern Australia. Crocodiles are everywhere. Especially after flood waters after a lot rain. In your backyard or in the streets they could be anywhere.

Quick tip, watch this video at 1.25x speed or 1.5x speed if you process faster, the person is speaking like a tortoise

Fun Fact : In India we have Salt Water Crocs, the Mugger Croc and the Ghariyal, Tiger Shark, Hammerhead & Bull Sharks. . Add to that the number of killing machines we have on land, like Tigers, Lions, Elephants, Rhinos, leopards, Brown Bear, Black Bear, Sloth Bear, King Cobras, Spectacled Cobras, Russels Vipers, Kraits, Reticulated Pythons, Burmese and Rock Pythons and many venomous Spiders and Scorpions, it's just gods miracle that 1.4 Billion of us survive 😂😂😂

If you're sharing a stretch of murky water with either and they're hungry, there's

video confuses northern australia (the whole northern part of australia) with the northern territory which is just one region in northern australia.

0:21 the difference is crocodiles are the ones you see in a while whereas you will always see an alligator later.

We have fresh water crocs here in Australia as well, although not as aggressive

Salties swim out to the Great Barrier Reef from Northern Queensland.

I was born and raised in Florida running the swamps in blow boats (airboats) and the deeper you go into the swamps the bigger the creatures, especially alligators. Now in the Everglades (300 miles South of where I live) there are documented cases of Salt Water Crocodiles and Cuban Crocodiles in the wild and these are not young croc's, so mom and dad are out there deep in the Glades and that is scary.

I wouldn't relax in the Kimberley region of WA either!

slight misinformation in Salties in Australia, if you look for the tropic of Capricorn, generally speaking theyre above that line in any waterway no matter the state, WA, NT, QLD
