Salt Water Crocodile
‘Salties’ as they are referred to in Australia can be dangerous & aggressive. They are the largest living reptile in terms of mass. Their heavy set jaws contain 64-68 teeth!
The eyes, ears & nostrils are located on top of their head. This is so they can see, hear & breathe while being almost fully under water. It’s estimated there are 100 000 salties in Australia. As well as salt water, these crocs are also found in freshwater rivers, billabongs & swamps.
