The Australian Saltwater Crocodile is now in prolific numbers, people living in or traveling to tropical Australia need to be aware of these creatures and have a good knowledge of where they live and how to avoid them. That is why I built my saltwater crocodile web site. It is extensive with many photos and information to educate people about this danger.

You have been listening to a tour guide in tight shorts havn’t you? Crocodylus porosus is a species which ranges from India to Fiji and north as far as the southern islands of Japan. They have not reached PNG they are native to there. As for four different calls, they have senses we don’t understand and show complex interactions. ‘Four calls’ is more anthrocentric mumbo jumbo. If you are going to post ‘scientific information’ please check it.
