Both Ms. Kent and Mr/Ms. Wordsmith are correct. What is really remarkable is that these Salt Water Crocodiles (C. porosus), normally very territorial and aggressive towards each other, cooperate to dismember the carcass. Nile crocs do the same thing, but are typically not as much "loners" as the salties.
@@coasteyscoasteys Or you could credit the locals with some intelligence. Research what happens to the crossing during the monsoon season. The water would wash away any bridge.
Crocs have small bellies consider to their size. They can only rip pieces at a time. They grab with their teeth and uses teeth like a saw, because they can't chew. They often death roll their pieces to bite sizes. Or when they're more crocs they team up and take a limb each and tear it in two directions. Therefore they are slow eaters. Though their killings are quick.
Herpetologist here. Thanks for helping others to better understand crocodilians. Couple of small corrections: 1. Not having seen any measurements or stomach-to-body weight relative dimensions, I'm not sure that crocodilians have small stomachs relative to their size. Do you have a data source to support that statement? If so, I'd love to see it. Certainly crocodilians can put away quite a bit of meat in one meal (for instance, I've seen a large Nile croc get down an entire Impala). 2. You are correct that crocodilians cannot chew. However, their conical teeth do not work "like a saw;" they are only good for gripping and (in larger specimens) crushing, not cutting through anything. Moreover, they cannot move their jaws either back and forth or side to side relative to each other, which would preclude any "sawing" motion. That is precisely why they must either shake their prey apart (if feeding on a large item alone) or, as you say, "team up" and feed cooperatively, with one or more animals holding the carcass while one or more others tear off chunks by spinning - - the so-called "death roll" (which is a misnomer; it's actually a feeding roll). 3. It is true that crocodilians can "only rip [off] pieces at a time" IF the prey item they are eating is a large one. But smaller prey items - - e.g., a fish, a racoon or other small mammal for a big gator, etc. - - can be and generally are swallowed whole.

Generally when crocs eat a carcass it is not considered an 'attack' 🙄

These are freshies ?
I wouldn’t so much call that a crocodile attack! More like, lunch for a couple of lucky crocs lol.🐊🐖
Attack?? Watch me attack my bowl of macaroni and cheese
"Cahill's Crossing: Crocodile NON attack fine, easy dining" is more accurate a title.
Very lucky to witness this. Thanks for sharing.
Can hear both 🐊 🐊 singing, 🎶"Gimmie me a break, Giiiiive me a break, Break me off of piece o'dat..." 🎵
Wishing Pumba a speedy recovery ❤️🩹
Just doing what they are there for...clearing up all the leftovers and rotting meat ...
Wonder what's so compelling on the other side of the crossing for people to brave the water and crocodiles.
The vast wilderness of Arnhem land.
It's the only access road. Cross at low tide and not much problem, other than dodging any croc sunning itself across the concrete.

You'd think the intelligent thing to do is build a proper bridge

Strong strong bridge
Nice Crocs. I wonder if you can make them into lap pets
Love your vids keep up the good work mate 😜
Crocs are funny creatures: quick killers but very slow eaters
Those Crocodiles are tearing up the Razorback apart. At least I think that pig looks like a Razorback.
He's a long way from Arkansas.
Good video, nice to see it not shaking etc
Has a human been attacked at that Crossing before ?
Yes many
One got decapitated I’m not joking

Yeah, in front of his 2 sons

Umm, a much better road is needed asap, like years ago! Wtf!!!

Why won't they build a high bridge over this crossing? It's 2023, maybe they have by now.
Free porkchops for Mr.Croc
Note to Self - Never swim again.
This road is dangerous man is there any news about attack on human on this road?
Yeh I was there yesterday. 5 people have been killed there in recorded history.
@@curlybeck1 thats quite a big numbers also, thank you for sharing
@@haremking2599 you’re welcome, I just read somewhere that it’s more than 5. I wonder what the actual numbers are. It’s a crazy place.
yep! lots have been attacked, a few killed. one got decapitated

I wouldnt cross khill crossing unless i was in an army tank
my mother always told me not to play with my food
Why don't they build bridge
Will destroy and damage the eco system there that's y
Along with what Crafts said, the bridge would also likely be washed away during flood season
@@Qawsedrftvynn
How
@@devonlord99
Build stronger bridge
@@Qawsedrftvynn
Agree ! And who wants to build a bridge in these waters
They are very Efficient
It's like a giant bobber!!!
Nice leg of pork for Sunday dinner with the family
I love Austrailia, the most dangerous place in the world!!
Good video.
I think I would prefer take helicopter across instead.
But what if it crashes down...
I WILL ONLY CROSS THAT BRIDGE or something if im Inside of a TRUCK.
We were there that day 👍
Don't worry honey I'm bringing home take out lol
