Here is a video of the crocodile that we saw. Our tour guide told us that it is a female because more females are born because of the temperature of the environment. Look at it move! guess how fast they can react? twice as fast as a rattle snake! cheers Lacy

Crikers Mates! Run for your lives...unless you are really good at Crock Wrestling! Do they really wrestle crocodiles in Australia?
I don't think so, not in the wild. We feel that is too dangerous and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The jaw snap of a croc is probably the strongest and fastest force in the world. A croc has 3,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. That might be something they do for entertainment in zoos.
Actually our Aboriginal tour guide, George's, sacred animal or totem is the crocodile. A totem is basically a sacred object, in this case an animal, that people are obligated to look after and protect. Although some people in Australia eat crocodiles, George doesn't because that is his totem.
