@@TsukiCove It time someone has made a video and knows what there talking about with this great species every person always leave out the American crocodile and like you said, they are probably the biggest crocodile species on earth. Thank you for making this video man. This is my favorite animal and a lot of people mess up because he don’t know about crocodilians.
There's another hotspot in the subcontinent for croc attacks, that's the Sundarbans but most go unreported (same happen with tiger attacks)because people enter the core area without permission
Another great vid 👌 would love to see more generally about Cuban crocs, they have so many unique behaviours and adaptations that set them apart and while seem to be mentioned more often now, still very underrated 😎
I am fond of crocodiles. The problem we had when I lived in Australia was humans invading space. Also, the salties will follow the Baron River up the mountain to the Atherton Tableland. Also, there is a crocodile zoo near Oxford worth a visit.
There aren’t any salties on the actual tablelands. Sure at Kuranda and people say one introduced at Mareeba. But none in Tinaroo or across towards Atherton, Malanda or up to Herberton. I grew up in Malanda.
@glenheidke6239 yeah it's freshwater crocs on the tablelands, you don't see salties climbing up the Barron Falls 😂😂 there's a rumour someone released them up in Mareeba though
wtf are you on about? salt water crocs cant mountain climb up a rocky mountains rock pools, In the only cold water in the area. YOU know they re cold blooded.. which means if they are in the cold water, they will be very slow and weak. As for people being the problem.. we have 22million people here and 75% of them live down south. where the crocs dont come because?? its to cold
Salties follow the Baron to the Tablelands??? Put down the crack pipe! never seen a saltie go up Din Din falls {Baron Falls} Its a 125 m vertical from top to bottom. There are freshwater crocs sure. But, either you spent too much time in Kuranda getting high or your still full of Sh1t!!!
Nile crocs are only eating more people and would appear more dangerous because they’re eating people who live near and rely on the water ways and lakes so it’s more common that they’re coming into contact with the crocs directly. I think the salty is more dangerous
I get your point but I think African crocs are more aggressive than salties naturally . Think of it from a survival point of view. Nile crocs have to tackle bigger prey and unlike salties whose biggest natural prey would be a kangaroo while Nile crocs deal with far bigger and stronger animals Cheers
I personally don’t see the difference. They’re both hyper-aggressive apex predators that have been perfecting their hunting skills for 200 million years. Nile and saltwater crocs are equally dangerous. Being in close range of either of them is like walking across the summit of a volcano that’s on the brink of eruption
The Saltwater estuarine crocs in far north Queensland where i live, theres a lot of education & an app for recent sightings plus signs etc salties are very smart and will stalk you, never go to the same spot twice as theyll wait for you. A guy got taken last year checking his crab pots at cardwell. Have to be croc smart, seeing the eye shine at night with a torch is creepy, they are there. Thanks for the video.
I remember when I was in Kenya being shown around a former quarry that was used as a wildlife park. When we were being shown the crocodile area I was looking at a few of them a little distance away. The trail we were on was separated from them by a wall not much higher than my knees. Next thing I looked down and there was a motionless crocodile underneath me on the other side of the wall close enough to touch. But there was no way I was going to attempt touching a crocodile. I moved away slowly and carefully once I'd had a good look.
Crocodilians can jump out of the water to snatch prey. I would not want to be too close to one that was hungry. The local alligators in my part of Florida will venture across land and can easily climb a chain-link fence. This is a concern since I live on a small creek that in general is very low and in the summer does not flow. So far my dogs have not had to defend my place against one. Alligator stomachs are often full dog collars and tags.
I was in Brazil at an ‘estate’ with a large lake and some large crocodiles in. There had been days of rain so everything was flooded. Similar to you, there was a small slatted knee high fence with a concrete base. I was leaning slightly over taking a photo of some crocs a few feet away who were docile and my (now ex) bf threw a stone at them, they turned and charged right at me and smashed into the fence. I fell backwards and kept backing up whilst he laughed. I was furious.
I had the privilege of visiting the Nile 5yrs back. I was driving down for a slope and when I got close.. I realized the canoes I thought I saw were crocodiles!! Huuuuuge beasts.
Zambezi River around Batoka and Cabora Basa The bit of the Zambezi between Victoria Falls and Mozambique that's dangerous waters there. You'll be torn to pieces and eaten never seen again 😢😞
Very interesting and insightful video again Tsuki😲👍🐊. I showed this channel to a friend and he’s really enjoying your vids🙂. India must have some pretty deadly crocodiles there too😲.
The size of the saltwater crocodiles that were killed over 100 years ago made them true monsters. They are beginning to get close to those sizes again in some regions.
So many stories from Australia of crocodiles attacking boats . I believe sweetheart was one of them which is now in the Darwin museum. Jack Absalom did a good movie about them
The Cuban croc has gotten some press lately, mostly for its agility. It's not big, but footage suggests that it is aggressive. I get mixed information on the Orinoco croc; some sources say it was - in its heyday - a prodigious man-killer. Other sources contradict this and rate the black caiman as the most dangerous crocodilian in South America. It's fair to say that Niles and salties are in their own class.
Salt water crocs are very smart and extremely aggressive. because of that, people constantly know they are being hunted and take all the precautions they can. You dont go near the water unless your sure you are safe. but even then your still at risk ive seen people in tiny boats float down the Nile, A big territorial salt water croc would eat them..
In Iran Mugger Crocodile are often called by their local name, Gandu, their attacks on humans are not really common and the local population protects them against poachers because they believe they keep the water clean.
@@PahadiSher Apparently even though the name is taken from the Balochi word for short or small (pointing to the short snout), that word in itself isn't Iranic and is instead a loanword from Sindhi language, so maybe there's a connection.
There`s a croc (or was) at a Crocodile Farm in Southbroom on the Kwa-Zulu Natal south coast that was captured by South African soldiers in Namibia back in the 1980`s during the border war with Angola that had reportedly killed 90+ people, I saw it there in the early 2000`s, he`s absolutely massive!
Here in Costa Rica we have a river called Tarcoles. Its full of american crocodiles and has become a turistic atraction. Recently, two other people where kayaking, but their kayak turned around, drowning them. Then parts of their bodies were found. Its sad but its the consequence of having monster crocodiles eat everything and anything that touches the water, and no one can hunt them cause its illegal. Very sad that the river is full of monsters😢
Funny how a very small indigenous population survived for at least 60,000 years without a massive attack rate. Remember there was around 750,000-1.2 million pre settlement.
@@color_me_ no. Croc country starts at the Boyne River. Just north of Bundaberg near Gladstone. About 550km north of Brisbane. Just the start of Central Queensland. I know, as I live there.
@@MightyJosh1985 the point wasn't the precise latitude at which croc country begins, but that i'd thought the indigenous population had been all throughout aus, not just in croc country. thank you for the greater detail, though; it wasn't til recently that i realized just how limited the salty's range is.
less crocodile attacks in australia due to a few factors, lower population density in croc range. less need for people to be around or on the water for their livelihood. survivability may be higher due to more waters edge attacks because people are less likely to go in the water.
true about bears, unfortunately (and inexplicably, but for sadism); but not at all about the crocodilians. parts get ripped off incidently, but the brutes prefer to drown their meat & then let it tenderize.
Have the 6500, it's compact and plenty bright. Was thinking on the new 12000 with 6500 helmet mounted but thought I'd only blind the night wildlife. The 6500 gets plenty of more often bad attention from walkers so that I know it's adeqate. On lowest brightness it's suitable for towpath, the local trails 75%, it's not often it's on full. 12000 must be bonkers
If you go to a crocodile zoo outside their normal environment and you see them playing with the crocs it's because they're half asleep it's not warm enough
Not yet! 🤞 (Climate change, ya know. 😐) But, you do have Brown Bears, Polar Bears, and, apparently, potentially predatory (on humans) Greenland Sharks in the St. Lawrence River...
Some years ago a man was bitten by a Cuban crocodile in Stockhom, Sweden. This crocodile was once owned by the Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Castro gifted two crocodiles to a Russian cosmonaut in 1978. The reptiles were later given to the Skansen Aquarium (Stockholm) in 1981. They are still alive. 🐊
I love the James Montgomery story from the Segama river, Northern Borneo, apparently he shot over 20 Salties between 20 & 26 feet long to make it safe for his workers to do there laundry , but there was a croc even bigger that the local Seluke tribe called father of the Devil, Montgomery spotted this croc sleeping on a sandbank one day , when it moved he measured the sandbank and it suggested the croc was an amazing 32 feet long !!!! There’s not viable proof but I hope it’s true !!!!!
I think it is very hard to know the precise toll of people taken by crocs in Africa. But as these countries get advanced infrastructure that will change and also the number of croc will go down. In the USA alligators at time do attack people. In my state of florida Alligator attacks happen now and then. But when one considers that Florida's population is in the millions and the attacks are few. It is not really so terrible. Also most residents living on bayou or similar will called in the wildlife people to remove a larger gator that is living near their boat docks and that helps a bit. ''Florida is known to be the home of alligators - over the last 10 years it has averaged eight fatal bites per year. However, the number of attacks has increased by 66 percent in recent years, from six a year between 1971 and 1986, to 10 a year between 1987 and 2017.'' But the population in 2022 was 22,244,823. So the odds of being killed by one is less than 1 in two million and that is very low odds.
I Think the saltie of australia is the most dangerouse of them all and we should respect is habitat and protect them ,and the majority of fatalities is due of the stupidity of humans.
I feel like people use “Indian subcontinent” In place of just India. If you mean the country just use India as the subcontinent is a much much larger area.

You have it backwards the Saltwater Croc is larger and far more aggressive then the Nile croc
You on something? Where did the video say that
No you have it backwards. Niles are bigger because they naturally face bigger prey and are closer to humans

I'm sure if more people in Australia had to depend on fishing for their living as a lot of villagers do in SE Asia there would be more attacks

Not true and niles do cohabiting with humans more. 😊

Reptiles are friends! Say hello to your local saltwater crocodile when you see it.
I don't think Indonesians & S.E. Asians will be doing such, and with good reason.
