The Saltwater Crocodile is the continent’s largest land
predator. These reptiles are among the most ancient of the
earth’s creatures, having survived substantially unchanged
for more than 180 million years.
Saltwater Crocodiles (http://www.sydneyaquarium.com.au/Interact/INT021.asp) are efficient predators which
specialise in hunting at the water’s edge. They can remain
seemingly motionless for long periods, but don’t be fooled
by their inertness. They are watching and waiting for food
and can strike without warning.
Crocodiles are very territorial creatures. They fiercely
protect their section of a waterhole or riverbank. Their
territorial nature means they are solitary animals and do
not like to share their space with other animals.
