RE: Where on Wednesday twenty nine: Catching ZZZ's

Just a few pics for you...And a map for perspective.

That northern section is tropical Australia. The three states crocs are prevalent in are Western Australia (to the left), Northern Territory (in the middle) and Queensland (to the right). People get taken all the time. If a croc wants you there's not much a person can do to prevent it. They are ancient beasts and have remained largely unchanged for millions of years...Perfection doesn't need to change I guess. The ultimate hunters. Big buggers too.

Sort:  

I really like the show here about people hunting gators in Louisiana, Swamp People. But those aren't giant ones like in your photos. They'd need a bigger boat!

I showed those to Mrs. J. ..lol...she said "Oh NO! No way!" lol. I would never swim anywhere there could be crocs would you?

Swimming in crocodile areas, or camping within 100m of the water is sure to get a person killed. They are indiscriminate, and brutally effective killers.

Makes me shiver to think about it. Would you hunt them if they were in your area or if you lived up there?

Yeah, I'd give it a go. It's pretty dangerous though. Check out this bloke.

Holy smokes! A 2000 lb croc! Dang. They're so powerful, so quick and so violent. I'd work the camera.

Better not to be there at all I think. They are prehistoric beasts, and best left alone. They are starting to proliferate though. They have no predators and the government protected them. Time will tell how that goes.

Oh they're thriving. Well that's good but yeah the government will have to cull them like they do the other species.

And they do. Professionals do it. I could do so if I lived up there, but I kind of like crocs...You know where you stand with a crocodile you know? 🐊
