Acho incríveis
Ive seen people standing there knee high in water fishing with crocs less tham 5m away from them....they should change the name to "duckheads" crossing
Genius camwork by the great Michael Wheatley
Thanks so much for playing my marimba concerto so beautifully Freya! Big congratulations to you! 👏 Brava!
Worse that can happen here is getting a flat tire if he bites it 😉 lmao 😂
I'd love to just sit there and watch these guys, I love crocs
I love the sound of nature. Thank you for this video.
Who wants to go for a little dippity dip?
There should be the bridge 🌉.
Dari dulu aku paling suka nonton film2 buaya Australia.
Fun fact...it's labeled as an actual tourist Hotspot and is currently closed reopening tomorrow at 9am....hell with that schedule there should be Crocs looking for breakfast errr day.
Those beasts are amazing, especially that first land cruiser.
Does barramundi mean. " How have we lived so long with these absolute UNITS hunting us!?!
more idiots
Amazing how the croc just blends in with the rocks

Stupidity either of the local government / council or the GREENS encouraging human / animal conflict
I heard of speed bumps but Aussies take it to another level 🐊
Why can't the make a proper very high bridge?
Think they’ve been around since the dinosaurs,essentially you are watching a dinosaur.They’re whole life is devoted to killing and eating.
Thats a dangerous place
Nope naw no
Nice amphibious SUV
When humans realize that they are not on top of the food chain 😂
I bet those Gators could take a tire out easily
They are Crocs
Only there aren’t any !
@@benacedo2580 ok
should just rename it "Crocodiles Crossing"
Seloko
Its kinda weird...you dont see anyone crossing on a bicycle...strange dont you think?
🤣👍
If I lived in Australia I don't know if I'd ever go in a lake,beach or river because of those crocs n great whites
That is a very wise decision.
I have a friend who lives in Australia and she said the crocodiles are only on the north part of Australia
I live down south on a river, no crocs here! Lol. Only up in the far north in the tropics!
During the dry season, you can find many croc free waterholes in the NT and Queensland !
There are crocs only in the far north tropics!
Why do people have to cross and risk their lives often or other side big Community there? Do towing are always available for drivers there?
One side is Aboriginal land, supplies etc need to transported. I crossed in a car when the water was to deep and the engine stopped right in the middle. Managed to get going again and cross, on the way back I waited until the tide was at its lowest point.
I wouldn't last a day in Australia. I almost exclusively Wade fish here in Tennessee.
You would last here like the rest of us. The crocs are up in the far north in the tropics with a very low population.
Forgot to add, plenty of “wade” fishing here too (fly fishing ? )
@@jimcrawford5039 love fly fishing I go to the fl keys every year just to fly fish.
Ahh, you'd be fine mate 🇦🇺👍
@@Robochop-vz3qm I actually made it a month cross training with your army back in 2003 near rockhamton. I feel in love with your country it’s beautiful and you guys love to drink lol reason I said I wouldn’t last a day is I don’t read signs and I would end up getting in the water where a lot of crocodiles are. I’d take running into a bear or mountain lion any day over a crocodile they’re scary as hell.
mate there only babies you should see the size of then at dazzas crossing
04:46 I think the dog shit itself...
People get caught out here because of the speed of the tide, not the height of the water. Sometimes a vehicle can cross here ok then 15 minutes later a car can get swept down the river. Cahils is a great iconic place, just know what you're doing.
Remarkable tides, eh ! 30+ miles from the sea and over 30 ft above sea level. Truly remarkable.
@@WildlifeObsessed It is tidal
No way I'd ever want to go there
It’s a beautiful part of Australia. Been there twice, right across the north. Wish I could do it again. It is magic!
It's awesome mate
You don’t have to walk on the crossing though ! You will be fine
nice footage👍
Visited Cahill's Crossing last year 2018, saw several fishermen with a beer in one hand and a pole in the other, more at their feet or on the rocks. Well within striking distance. Not very smart considering the size, speed and numbers of these apex predators.
If they are locals they are ok, if tourists they are idiots!
I'm pretty sure the car does NOT realize that 3 crocs are heading it's way, but I'm pretty sure the car isn't very tasty anyway, it should be alright.
And there's the bird not giving a fuck
that bird is playing a dangerous game lol
@Frost Rusher why?
@@redmi2s468 one snap away from being dinner.
@@JuttMC actually i was asking something else from the guy who now has deleted his comment"crocs Don't eat those birds"😅😅
Where's the rescue?
My question is this....if you get stuck in the middle of the crossing, how do you decide whose turn it is to get out and attach the tow straps?
Whoever's the weakest. Oldest person, sick person, person with a slight cough. If you're all healthy then I guess it'll have to be scissors paper rock.
The crocodiles were on the wrong side of the crossing, that is why they changed sides. They normally sit ( float ) on the side that the water is rushing too. The rushing water normally carries with it lots of barramundiand other fish and they float there getting an easy meal. They are actually pretty clever creatures .
They only do that at high tide, that's when the Barra etc wash over the crossing.
Yep a couple million years evolution unchanged! Pretty clever creatures!
Need infrastructure like bridge and road.
It would get washed away in the wet season.
brave drivers
You usually can see many mentally challenged imbeciles fishing of this crossing in knee deep water.
That would have been me. Jabiru was my first tune in croc territory and the locals thought it would be a good laugh to have me stading in knee deep water on the crossing, telling me all the time is was safe. I had a sting ray swim over me feet and a shark swim past.
Hi Michael - did you film this footage? I'm interested to get in touch with you to discuss potentially using it in our latest documentary. Can you please PM me your email address? Thanks! Kristie
I wish they'd change the name of the river. No alligators there
It’s only a name. Like lion river or bear river. None of those here either!
@@jimcrawford5039 different matter. It was named as explored by Lieutenant Phillip Parker King in 1820, who named them in the mistaken belief that the crocodiles in the estuaries were alligators. I'd quite fancy lions there though
A lot of people willing to risk their own safety to get up close to these dinosaurs. I don't really have a problem with stupid people getting themselves killed, just don't kill any of the animals if it happens.
JPFDNPP31111ELE *
JPFDNPP31111ELE right?!? No need to punish the animals for participating in natural selection....
But that's exactly what happens when a person is taken by a croc. The croc is hunted and killed by the poor rangers who then have to deal with the gruesome task that follows. You're right - the croc did nothing wrong. Fishing and crabbing and boating are just such a huge part of life in Northern Australia. People are willing to take risks and also become very complacent.
Johan I believe what happens is when a croc has taken someone, they have to track it in order to find the body. Crocs 'store' carcasses they can't eat in one go, either to come back to it later for another helping or to catch other animals that have been attracted to the smell. I guess maybe crocs act differently when they've recently fed which is how rangers know which ones to track in these circumstances. A lot of rangers in those areas are probably Aboriginal or they enlist the help of an Aboriginal tracker to help them. Perhaps the croc usually ends up being killed in the process of all this. Not a very nice thing for the ranger/tracker to have to go through - and a big reason why you should indeed stay away from them!
@@DrJetset if a croc killed your child , your saying you'd want it to live?
omg '',,,,,,,'
