Description
Why does National Geographic call the Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) the animal most likely to kill a human? And why do they claim the Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) is a "vicious man-eater"? In this episode, we dive deeper into why certain crocodiles are considered more aggressive than others, while looking at two case studies of killer crocodiles.If you're in Australia and see a Saltwater crocodile, please report it to 1300 130 372 [select option 1] or report it online or on their QWildlife App. You can also check out their BeachSafe website to find a safe beach near you.
