  • Big boy tries to bite the hand that feeds. Video taken by Animal Ark up in the Northern Territory on the Adelaide River recently. Apex predator and largest of all living reptiles the Estuarine or Saltwater crocodiles were in abundance. The huge beast in the video is Dominator - he very, very nearly got our guide’s hand. One moment of distraction and the huge creature decided on a larger meal than the chicken carcass that was on offer. A minute of your time - worth watching to the end.

      It was the camera. Dude is hanging his arm over the railing to get pictures and video. Salties are amazing predators, how fast and powerful they are, but most impressive is how ballsy they are, they KNOW they're a dominant Predator been around since late Jurassic period.

      Well, I'd do that in Everglades before I'd do that in Northern Australia. Gators? Even the small number of Niles, Saltwater Crocodiles is a special kind of Dinosaur. It is in every sense of the word, a dinosaur. It had to be fierce enough to contend with various comings and goings of actual both bird and reptile dinosaurs, survived numerous global cataclysms and extinctions, and they're still here. The story of Imperial Japanese invasion of New Guinea, they lost hundreds of infantrymen crossing a river heavily populated by Saltwater Crocodiles, this was also at night. But, honor and Emperor Hiro Hito Sama dictated river must be crossed. Most the crocs killed for territory, wasn't about eating them. Salties don't want anything in their waters and they don't even get along with eachother, they kill eachother more than any Crocodilan. Just big big highly aggressive reptiles with the strongest recorded biteforce of any living animal. Alligator won't do that. Salty here, they truly hunt people. People aren't special, just a critter crossing their territory and if he isn't hungry, he'll store you for later in the week. Terrifying animals I want to leave the hell alone.

      @@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto recent studies have shown the nile croc to be more aggressive to humans on average than a saltie.
      The saltie has been largely sensationalized to do the human intervetion to protect them with too many crocs in one place making them more aggressive than what was normal in the early 1900s.
      Salties are very big scavengers aswell able to eat things other predators cant.

    Watched a UA-cam special of several (3 or 4) guys kayaking one of Africa's biggest rivers lousy with crocodiles
    Right after the first made it past a rough set of rapids the second in line reached the calm water just in time to see his buddy ahead of him get snatched out of his kayak by a huge crocodile estimated at 18' in length.
    I do not understand how this happens
    I mean crocodiles purposely and routinely hunt and eat humans in both Africa and Australia but much more so in African
    Crocodiles are much more dangerous to humans than any other aquatic predator by a significant margin

      That's not exactly true. Indo-Pacific Saltwater Crocodiles are more aggressive than Niles, don't get me wrong, Niles are bad bad crocs. But MOST Aussies know not to mess with them, but some do. Tourists in Australia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia nations like that, yeah salties snatch kayakers as often as Niles do. Thing about Salties even if not hungry, they kill on sight and save you for next week. Do NOT underestimate salties, they're older than Nile Crocs, shared territory with Allosaur and Tyrannosaurus Rex.
