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🇿🇦
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.
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.
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.
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"...
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.
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.

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. 💋

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.....
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.
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).
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
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
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
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.
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.

@@PibrochPonder Nah its the use of his words, people don't talk like that anymore and for good reason I'm not saying he's a bad character I just find it disturbing talking about people of colour back then was so degrading is that ok with ya mate?
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...
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!
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.

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.
Lol Darwin is in W.A according to that map.
Got taken there by a croc😂✌

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!
IM AM A PROTECTED SPECIES AS WELL.. IF A CROCK GOES ME.. HE'S GONE.. END OF STORY..
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.

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
he manages to make a fascinating animal seem totally boring
lol so true
Cheaper than divorce...just saying....
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
ihategoogle Remember this one? The boys parents should have been locked up for being so irresponsible: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1148502/Pictured-The-boy-5-eaten-alive-crocodile-brother.html
Cant stand it that they breed them for handbags and shoes its disgusting
💅
I find it disturbing the clear racial separation in this mans patter, so casual.
What example are you talking about? It sounds like you are racially attacking this guy just because he is white
@@PibrochPonder Nah its the use of his words, people don't talk like that anymore and for good reason I'm not saying he's a bad character I just find it disturbing talking about people of colour back then was so degrading is that ok with ya mate?
You’ve never met an aboriginal have you?
Cops hunt killer croc!? Haha do cops take croc catching lessons at the academy then
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.........
Now you can't stay in that river crocs will eat you)

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.
