Saltwater Crocodile

There are 300.000 of these species globally, and Saltwater Crocodile is currently listed as an endangered species on the Great Barrier Reef. It is also known as the Estuarine Crocodile. Because they are innate predators, these crocodiles will attempt to capture any living thing to consume. Their tail, which can grow to a length of 17 feet (5 meters), is another potent tool they use to defeat their victims. These crocodiles are aggressively playful with their prey and can jump from the water's edge to catch them. If necessary, they can even surf over the water, demonstrating the strategic aspect of this animal's hunting.

Although there have been reports of these animals in the area's estuaries and even in freshwater, Saltwater crocodiles are primarily found in saltwater around the northern Australian coast.

Despite the fact that this species may truly beat and quarter a human to death, there have been relatively few human deaths due to saltwater animals throughout Australia's history due to their low population and obvious warning signs in their habitat. Large and opportunistic hypercarnivorous apex predators include saltwater crocodiles. Most of its prey is ambushed before being drowned or swallowed whole. Almost every animal that enters its region can be defeated by it, including other apex predators like sharks, different freshwater and saltwater fish species, pelagic species, invertebrates like crabs, and different amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, including humans.
