The crocodiles very close!

In the Northern Territory of Australia, just 45 minutes' drive from Darwin you will find one of the highest concentrations of salt water crocodiles worldwide. Here at Adelaide River live at the 80,000 copies! More than 30 years they were hunted mercilessly and almost exterminated here, now they are protected.

Again and again it comes to tragic incidents in which people are surprised by the giant reptiles, where as lately a fisherman who was bitten by a jumping crocodile head.

The best way is to experience first hand the Crocs a boat trip in which they are baited with meat and they even jump to grab their prey.

This is a natural behavior because the crocodiles also sometimes birds or other animals hunt so.

The Crocodylus porosus are the largest living reptiles in the world and the males can be up to 6.7 m long and up to 2,000 kg.

Crocs are solitary and may fro very hot when they meet. The mating rituals are very brutal and often survive the females do not they. Whether hatch from the eggs male or female depends on the temperature in the nest. Unfortunately always survived only a small part of the boys, as many of enemies, often even other crocodiles are eaten.

The jumping crocodiles are a true spectacle and even if they are very aggressive, freshwater crocodiles are many places already extinct really very fascinating animals!

Although inspire me Reptiles much, it was very scary to see how much force the animals have and how many romp around in the rivers! Employed were at least 3 Crocs in sight, always is to see only one-third of all present!

Darwin was the last stop on my trip around the world in Australia, now even Indoniesien and Malaysia are on the program, more wild animals are waiting for me there!
