Jack Absalom's: Rise Of The Crocodile
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 апр 2014
- In recent years crocodiles have made quite an impact.......
10 people have lost their lives.
Living in the far north of Australia has been described as living inside a giant game park... no fences between man and beast, with the balance tipping more and more in the crocodiles favour.
Jack Absalom talks with people of the Northern Territory's top end about their experiences with an increasing crocodile population.
Love hearing the old blokes talk, not too many left now sadly.
Thank you RUclips for preserving these gems of Australian history and our old timers.
When things made sense
The Daly River was ‘safe’ then. Well it certainly isn’t fucking safe now! 😆
I was at Cahill’s Crossing just yesterday, about 50 crocs there snapping fish at high tide. Fascinating creatures.
Lovely old time Documentary.
Guy: ‘They have a very nasty temper’.... then proceeds to kick the baby croc in the face...The good ol days...🤣🤣
Love these old school videos.
Loving this doccie🔥timeless and factual. Love these creatures. Steve and of late Matt did a great job of carrying the torch with awesome visuals and knowledge of these great beasts. For the 100th time was watching a vid of Lolong, sad to have lost such a beautiful specimen.
Keep up the good work Aussies from🇿🇦
Jack! I wish you lived till now,….
so I could learn from you today instead of 20-40 years ago….
I hope you have family that still worships your crazy sweet knowledge.
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Met JACK in Brokenhill 2016- great bloke. Told me a few good yarns.
Cahills crossing.... been fishing there regularly and have seen more than 50 crocs just in that space near the crossing many times. I love them and respect it's their home. 🐊🐊
You were the best Jack Absalom without peer!😢🤠
a croc showing unusual behaviour showing no fear of boats and people. lol.
Why do i feel like it should be the other way around.
humans showing unusual behaviour showing no fear of crocs until some one gets eaten.
just love seeing these animals, especially crocs and salties
@36:40 Game reserve dude talks about separating little crocs from big crocs, to help the little ones compete equally, then @37:19 a video narrator pipes up "It's nice they help the little ones catch up ......it means there'll be hand bags a little earlier" LoL.
I wish I lived in Australia, loved it when I was there!
Pity we never saw a meeting between this guy and Matt Wright.....Matt has 'em living at the bottom of his garden......
I've got a crazy idea........ How about don't go fishing and swimming in crocodile infested water!!
There weren’t that many croc’s on the Daly river at the time. Today it is unsafe to even go in the Daly river
@@walor5384 you miss the point.hes saying to leave them and their habitat alone
They taste GREAT
Shame about Sweetheart. Seems he got his kicks from just scaring the living shit out of people.
They should issue tags for them like we do in the US
Ironic he says the Daly river was considered safe back then. Today, the Daly river is infested with them.
hello from ireland
no fear of crocs in our rivers
was watching bush tuker man
God blimey mate
Yes definitely there are loads in there now , 18 footers aswell, I remember a documentary with David Ireland the croc man and he filmed a croc in Western Australia called Fergus who was 18 foot and he remarked that he was the largest croc in Australia, jeez how times have changed there are 18 footers all over the NT now some 20 footers aswell and all the river systems are packed with Salties, but realistically when you here about people swimming in the Mary & Adelaide rivers they must be seriously deluded, as long as you keep out of these rivers you will be safe simple it is, you can still go out in a decent size boat just don’t swim no matter what ......
@@spencerglover1 That's just insane...I have lived among the largest alligator population in the entire world here in Louisiana my entire life, with 2.5 million but there's just something about the size and aggression of Saltwater crocs that just freaks me right out and fascinates me at the same time. If I ever go to Australia I will absolutely stay in the NT, no doubt about it.
Down in south Florida gators were a daily thing I even had a friend not see one at the waters edge and basically dipped her toes by the 12+ft gators nose. My guess if it was a croc she might be missing a leg but that gators didn’t care they just slowly turned around and swam away. I’ve got an idea of why crocs and Carmen are violent to humans when alligators are not. Basically all crocs and Carmen live in areas where there are monkeys apes or other animals that look like humans aka kangaroos so they are a natural thing for the crocs to hunt and we look like em (Nile crocs we are their natural food source though) but gators there are no monkeys or apes in North America or any animal that looks like a human so they just have never developed the idea to hunt us.
Sounds like sweetheart was being territorial. Boat looking like another croc.
This was an absolute 👍
Thanks
The music wud make u think Jason Voorhees was coming!
😂
Fascinating but very dangerous
As seen in this video people take massive risks knowing full well that crocodiles are in that area so when an attack happens who's to blame in that situation?
Personally, I'd say it's the person.
Yeah it's a tragedy when someone is killed but it seems to me that it was also a tragedy that millions of crocs were slaughtered.
The onus is on humans as allegedlly being the most intelligent creature in the natural world to act both responsibly and consciously.
@Jamie I can sympathise with farmers who are struggling to make a living & a elephant(s) come trampling through threatening their ability to survive but i've no sympathy with a farmer who's making money hand over fist & all thats been threatened are 'more profits'....either way though its a matter of achieving a balance.
My god, if the guy went fishing in croc infested waters and got attacked, truly he must be classed as stupid??
Some crocs grow up to 20 feet but most only have 4-Russell Coight.
I wish I could find that newspaper clipping showing the attack, I've looked on the internet but can't find the images... the only picture I can find is of the fisherman standing on the crossing but in the documentary there are additional pictures, like in the beginning of the documentary in the clipping it ses "death lurks" "death strikes" ect... I know there were tourists there that day and one of them took pictures of the attack in progress and I think some of those images are the ones they show in the beginning of the documentary. Anyway if anyone knows of additional pictures of the 1987 Croc attack let me know where I can find them.
Agree even more these days, Jack. There should be an open season on crocs. They've moved far up freshwater creeks and continuously further south since the shooting was banned.
If anyone has been fishing at night in a little wooden 8' dingy and had a 16' croc surface and check you out, you might change your mind too on keeping these prehistoric monsters from being fearless of us. I've know people that have seen bigger, and just as fearless of us. Stupid conservation laws that are dreamed up in cities with no contact.
@Adam Hazza I was in my late teens then. Crocs were a 'Norm' and expected. But hell... fish are tasty, so fishing.
You talk about natural selection, but... if we were allowed to shoot those f'ers, the table is changed. They are encroaching on freshwater rivers now... where tourists like to travel. Sometimes one gets taken. Can you imagine being dragged underwater and stuffed in a hole until you rot before they eat you?
That fact that our country hates anyone with a rifle is stupid.
I guess my bother and I were lucky that our wooden dingy wasn't smashed apart, unlike one of my fisherman mates said: he watched a 16' croc tear one of his crab pots torn apart in front of his eyes, and nothing he could do about it.
One of my mates was a croc hunter before the regulations came in (about '73? I think).
The croc population has exploded since then. As I said previously, they need to be controlled. Currently we're nurturing them and they're moving to areas that have never seen saltwater crocs before (they don't stick to saltwater). It's stupid... so called conservation. I'll stop ranting. Think about this though, if it's you or a monster trying to eat you, where do you stand.
In honesty, I'd like to see their population reduced. My brother has a farm not far from a croc farm... I don't know what the name is, but they only want young crocs to make leather out of. But when a cyclone comes... do you think that those than can escape won't?
@@theoneandonlyowl3764 there's more out there of us who think the same way the blacks use to eat there eggs and the crocs as well and that somewhat thin them out now there out of control cos a few greenies I say throw the Greenies to the crocs.
Of course they're on the crocodiles side Jack, it's the Crocodiles River...
Straight murdered Sweetheart simply for not liking outboard motors 🐊
I love sweetheart
Maybe. There's a gigantic male saltwater crocodile called Cassius living at the Marineland Crocodile Park in Queensland. He was captured when already an adult from the same river just five years after Sweetheart's death, and has always reacted with fury towards the sounds of boat motors. A fair number of people that know Cassius well suspect that he was responsible for some of the attacks on boats too--or even that the Parks and Wildlife team "got the wrong guy"...
They didn't mean to he frowned before they could get to him
Rise? They've been around for ages beyond recorded history
His misses 🤣🤣🤣👍🇸🇬 you fool me.
Respect them
Has nobody else noticed that Jack sounds like Malcolm Turnbull?
Nope
you need a sound engineer as the audio is terrible. Gave up trying to watch.
Sweetheart was just letting them know they was invading his home. Pulling their socks up to their ears back then is 🤣😂
What sort of parent would allow there child in those waters.
The Aussie kind
@@corbinsamson3114 usually tourists actually
at least Jack pronounces " Cahill's " correctly
If only Daly River was still like that 😔
What's it like now??
Dave really regrets the killing of that croc
Chicken, Croc muh both are related.....
THE BACKGROUND MUSIC
IS ONCE AGAIN TO LOUD
1988
The only rule crocs take any notice of, is rule .303!!!.
Don,t blame the croc
What was this documentary about again ?
god lol
Leo Nidas cane toads in Australia
Every three months a person is torn to pieces by a crocodile in North Queensland
What Size Is The Biggest Croc Ever Recorded In Australia OutSide Captivity? How long do they live Here? I Imagine Australian Salty's Grow Larger & Longer Than The African River Killers!!!
There was a Saltie called the Wyabba monster from the Staaten river in the 1950s that was 24 foot long, there are numerous giants in the Adelaide river today between 5.5 m & 6.1m, Salties are definitely bigger than Africa’s Nile crocs.....
yes bigger than Nile crocodile
Wander if Jacks still alive ?
sorry to say mate but he died in 2019
@@Harro4870 what a great australian, times really have changed.
@@guygraham8016 indeed, people like jack, slim dusty , Steve Irwin ,Namatjira and many more will never come in this day in age.

Lol Darwin is in W.A according to that map.
Got taken there by a croc😂✌
Demonizing animals is very easy when you're ignorant! Geez thank God we've progressed from this kind of narrow minded perspective with crocs. They were there before humans, leave their land/water alone! Simples 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
It's not that simple you narrow minded person the northern territory is getting more populated this will always be a problem until we find a reasonable solution
@@naeemmohammed7439 I'm not narrow minded at all thanks. They shouldn't be there! If they stop moving there and destroying the land and it's wild life, problem solved, end of. Too many humans destroying this planet. 💋
@@GailNagle idiot Australia isn't just for the animals and is coveted by numerous people it won't stop the only way so shut up it isn't that simple you wanna be animals right activist if you used your brain as well the government is using the northern territory for my tourism and will help gather funds to fix it. And your narrow minded for not considering that for this to meet its end it would take a lot of money to stop the massive males from spreading their territorys to take all of Australia it's just not practical
@@GailNagle lol shuts up after getting put in place
You do realise that humans didn't get to where they are today by not being at the top of the food chain!
Sweethearts never killed anyone. Interesting. I've heard a lot about salties considering humans as just part of the fare but I wonder if they actually eat the people they kill. There is the WWII story of the terrible night hundreds of Japanese solders were killed on some island in the pacific. I have been told all my life that rattlesnakes will bite you anytime you get too close but experience has shown me that's just not the case. Don't go around picking them up but not as bad as I was led to believe.
Then again, a croc is alot bigger than a human and predators tend to go after meat that is smaller and we are meat... . Since I don't live in crocodile country I'm working with a knowledge deficit... wouldn't go swimming in the river to find out... nor be standing on the bank. A man I met who loves to go to Australia a lot, in fact has a house there, told me that Darwin is crawling with these things to the point that you have to be careful if you go out at night on an evening stroll. I often would ask myself what it would be like to have to watch yourself when you take out the evening trash because the ally might have something more dangerous than a thug lurking somewhere in the darkness. I think he might have been stretching a little as the documentaries seem to indicate that crocodiles usually only hunt from the water....but I could be mislead.
Michael DeBell u know nothing about crocs...u should sit at the bank of croc infested river...... with an autmatic recording camera.... when the croc takes u.... it will shatter ur body at the bank over and over again until u r broken down in to pieces....then 8t will eat all the pieces one by one and for ur lower body it will do a death roll....i want to kill each and every last one of these monsters.....
No very lettle more dangerous than a human (thug)lurking around. They kill and eat, not so likely to kill you if they have eaten recently, whats the point.
I do indeed know very little about them since I've never been near one except in a zoo. I surmise, from what I've learned about the salty, that they are the most aggressive croc. and will not flinch to eat a person found in the wrong place. Much of what I do know comes from watching the late Steve Erwin that, "The only thing this bloke wants to do is kill you". And, I would have to say, he had the experience!
Seeing that you entirely missed the point of what I was saying and must think that I would be stupid enough to stand near (not even on) the bank of croc. infested waters tells me that you need to learn how to read and comprehend before opening your big mouth.
I'm guessing that you mean to say they're more dangerous than human thugs unless they're not hungry?
That was Ramree island in Myanmar..
During World War II the Battle of Ramree Island was fought during January and February 1945, as part of the British 14th Army 1944/45 offensive on the Southern Front of the Burma Campaign. At the close of the battle, Japanese soldiers were forced into the marshes surrounding the island, and saltwater crocodiles are claimed to have eaten 400 (or 980 of them, as only 20 survived according to one account)[2] - in what the Guinness World Records has listed as "The Greatest Disaster Suffered [by humans] from Animals". However, the veracity of this story has been disputed and the facts suggest that, while a small number of Japanese soldiers were likely killed by crocodiles (the only verifiable mention is of 10-15 men killed by crocodiles while crossing Min Chaung creek near Ramree town), the vast majority likely died due to a variety of other reasons including dehydration, drowning, British gun-fire, dysentery, and perhaps even a small number to sharks as well (Platt et al. 1998).

Is that Cahill Crossing the location where the crocs line up to catch migrating fish on a high tide? I thot Aussie parents wouldn't be so stupid as to not be aware of Crocodiles. Walk softlt & carry a .358 Magnum or a Ruger .44 calibre!
You’ll need to carry something bigger. Fuck it bring .500 s&w magnum. Salties average 15-16ft and the really big ones can get to 17-19ft and weigh over a ton.
@@cadebeek3111 bitch please you won't find those round that part because it's highly.monitored
This guy is a cave man glad to see most aussies have moved forward in their thinking
Why because he's got common sense and not a city pofter with lefty views.
You do know this is a serious problem and politics have been hushing it down but it is getting worse because no one actually treat these animals with respect
Haha lol you must live in Melbourne mate
Head up nth to Darwin and you will think old Jack is the Queens best servant bud
jack .... if you want a safe place to go for a swim ... go to the fucking pool
HaHa you told him!!! Good one Mate!
SkankHunt 42 why is it dumb?
Its people the problem not the Croc
fuck the croc....good hunting I say....and to all you libtards….FU.
So true mate, they’ve been there millions of years, people think they can take over all the land when certain areas of this world are specifically for wildlife and should be left alone, Crocs don’t knock on people’s doors and attack them
ed mazzeo go take your face for a shit inbred.
I wonder if those Catholic missions were responsible for taking aboriginal kids away from their parents? The Stolen Generations refers to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were removed from their families between 1910 and 1970. This was done by Australian federal and state government agencies and church missions, through a policy of assimilation
And raped them
no they were very good to them
Sorry this show is about crocs. Not that crap!
So they wanted Jack to get on the croc gravy train huh, what a shame because he was a beautiful Artist not a crocodile Dundee
Now you can't stay in that river crocs will eat you)
unfortunately we have too many do gooders who know nothing about the natural balance of nature and refuse to allow an open season or cull to keep the number of maneating size crocs down. they will never become extinct as the areas they cover are so vast and remote. an open season would be great for tourism and a good income for the indiginous people of those areas.
bladeuser101 exactly and you have scientist and others breeding thousands
People move into the Croc territory not the croc moving into peoples swimming pools

You’ve never met an aboriginal have you?
Cant stand it that they breed them for handbags and shoes its disgusting
💅
Idiotic law to protect crocodiles. Loss of industry and open water, and allowing one of the most deadly animals on the planet to multiply. Misanthropic.
he manages to make a fascinating animal seem totally boring
lol so true
Nasty killing that wonderfull Crocodile.
He has a point, we are suppose to be top of the food chain, but when conservationist take over, people die because of it. Dont hunt to extinction, but animals do learn to be scared of humans. It's the way it should be. FOr the last few thousand years we as humans wouldnt put up with this, it's a very first world view over the last few decades, and it has cost lives. I don't want to see them extinct, but they do need to be hunted.
Northern Territory and all of tropical Australia belongs to the croc, they’ve been there millions of years, there’s plenty of places for humans to live, you never hear of a croc Knocking on someone’s door and invading there home, if you want to swim in the crocs river expect to be eaten simple, but to hunt them after someone is killed is a joke.
Humans have been around for a spec in time and have littke to no bush skills. Crocs have been around for millions of years. How about the humans show some respect to nature of piss off!
Instead of killing animals for behaving like animals start educating humans!! Poor and boring attempt to demonize wild animals.
Demonize the humans.
@Yelling Yak a soy latte
a time when real problems where ignored, whiping out the aborigines and the wildlife, pushing the rest of aborigine people into remote bushes, missionate them and take them the possibillity to live again with nature and now discovering it as a paradise for fishing and swimming or for raising babies....this people still cannot understand they are not living in a extended part of Britain and trying to shape it into it. It is time that people learn how to live with all the treasures of australia and not going fishing with small rubber boats in the night or catching exotic fishes to sell it oversea. What a sad generation with its general solution to shoot all unconfortable , to let the natives do the dirty work and all that in the name of the holy mother...
AUSTRALIA is spelt with a capital A. You lost me right there.........
Most boring croc documentary ever produced.
Honestly Russell Cooght is more beĺo
