THE SALTWATER CROCODILE (Cocodylus porosus) FACTS & INFORMATION
The Saltwater Crocodile is the largest living reptile on the planet. These modern day dinosaurs can grow over 6.5 meters long (23 feet) and weigh over 1,000 kilos (2,200 lbs). They have the most powerful bite of any animal on Earth and are mighty enough to take down buffalo and cattle.
Salt water crocodiles are cited as the most intelligent or sophisticated reptile. Besides using body language, they also vocally communicate using sounds, including barking, hissing, growling, chirps or grunts. They can hold their breath for hours underwater where they are ultra sensitive to vibrations. They don’t need to see you to know exactly where you are when you approach the water’s edge. This makes them extra effective ambush hunters in murky salt waters, brackish and fresh waters.
CROCODILE ATTACKS ON HUMANS
Saltwater crocodiles can live more than 70 years. They are opportunistic feeders that prey on a variety of species including crabs, fish, birds, turtles, pigs, buffalo and even humans. Though crocodiles and their relatives have a negative reputation among people, most species are relatively harmless and would rather avoid people rather than confront them. Saltwater Crocodiles are known to show aggression towards people, partly a result of its strong territoriality and partly because we are on their menu. Human attacks from all crocodile species worldwide are estimated around a thousand per year according to one source. The Nile crocodile is responsible for the majority of those due to the much more likely odds it will encounter humans in Africa. Saltwater crocodiles range from India, through Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, into the Philippines, Palau, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands and Northern Australia. Reports of saltwater crocodile attacks are surprisingly low. Calculations I dug up varied from 30 to over a hundred attacks per year for the that species. In Australia, attacks from “saltys” average about 2 per year. Across their vast domain, humans kill thousands of saltwater crocs each year and several countries have hunted them to local extinction.
CROCODILE TOURISM IN AUSTRALIA
Australia has recognized the value of protecting the crocs where it’s now illegal to hunt them. The recovering populations there, help manage a healthy ecosystem and croc tourism is bringing in money from fascinated adventurers who want to witness them in their natural habitat. Numerous river cruises specializing in teasing wild saltwater crocodiles to leap out of the water are a hit with photographers.
CROCOSAURUS COVE
Located in Darwin, Crocosaurus Cove offers a unique way to swim with massive captive crocodiles called the “Cage of Death.” Of course you’re behind thick plexiglass that should protect you. It’s gimmicky, amazing and many of their crocodiles are rescues. Leo, one of the star crocs there, was eating too many cattle before being captured in the wild. His life was spared in exchange for captivity. On one occasion, Leo mauled a worker at Crocosaurus Cove when she got too close. She was lucky to escape with her life and limbs after losing a lot of blood. There’s lots of other fascinating animals at this small zoo to see and I found the entire facility educating with heavy emphasis on conservation.
CURRENT STATUS
Saltwater crocodiles have few natural predators. Still, their skins have historically been highly prized, and they have suffered immensely from hunting, both legal and illegal. Their eggs and meat are also consumed as food. In the past, this species has been threatened with extinction. Recent conservation efforts have allowed them to make an impressive comeback in Australia but the species as a whole is much rarer than in the past.

It isn’t a video without hank talking about the beauty of nature.
Hanks is a heck of a narrator same as Morgan Freeman 😂😂
Or picking up a snake lol
Kinda Like a Bob Ross of Storm Chasing sounds about right
As it should be 😁
And some sweet tunes!
I love that Hank can deliver on so many topics: Reptiles, music, weather, and campy horror. Would love to see a collab with Snake Discovery.
Omg I think I'd actually explode I love snake discovery sm 😭 that would be an amazing collab
i dont know about that he might steal that blonde girl right from under her mans eyes
Absolutely
That would be a dream come true lol
@@pollyg562 I don't see that happening. Hank is married and so is the "blonde girl".
@@pollyg562Hanks married.
The forbidden water puppy.
And Steve Irwin loved them so dearly throughout his life.
Man I miss him.
Me too!
In the end, it wasn't a croc that killed Crocodile Hunter, it was a stingray.
RIP Steve Irwin
@grab… me too!! We adored Steve. That was a very sad time when he passed. 💔
"Struck in the heart 💘, and you're to blame...how I hate, the stingray!" (the scorpion of the sea) 🦂
its always a better day when Hank uploads
I love just listening to him! Something about his voice! the best narrator ever and he could tell any story and just get you deep into it 👌
It is tho
@brantdeible5854 for real, he could totally record audiobooks on the side
@@thetwitchywarlockyes
Couldn’t agree more.
Whenever Pecos upload something other than Tornado I appreciate it since he does more than just storm chasing. Keep it up Hank :)
A true polymath. 🖤
Dude is the spirit of nature.
@@soulivan827 The Green Man personified. 💚
Hanks childlike wonder and appreciation for animals is always so adorable and wholesome to watch, the little scene at the end with the snake and Hank is priceless. Not to mention how, even while Storm Chasing, Hank relocates every animal he can from the road to somewhere safer, his kindness to everything and everyone is something we should all strive for.
Absolutely agree! He is a treasure!
Ugh!
Hanks’ love of nature is so pure. His eyes for the and joy for the snake at the end, it was all a pleasure to watch. Keep up the amazing work Hank!
Tornadoes aren't the only majestic or dangerous part of nature, large animals like these are as well, and that won't stop Pecos Hank from capturing it. Great work!
You know, I think Hank could become the new David Attenborough of nature videos. That calming, suspenseful voice is just perfect.
i'm a simple woman, i see a pecos hank upload, i instantly watch it, thanks for yet another fantastic upload!
Salties are pretty impressive. Glad you got to spend some time with them, Hank.
They were dreamy to see.
A productive and enjoyable human. ... that would be Pecos Hank. Musician, Animal lover and tremendous stormchaser and photographer. That's probably not even the half of it. I would guess he'd make a great comedian. Some of my favorite scenes are when he's just explaining his situation while half asleep in a hotel while drinking coffee. Stuff like that. He's got a really fun vibe and spirit. He seems to have alot of fun. God bless you, Hank and stay safe
Awe shucks. Glad you appreciate the good times as well.
Yes!!!! Completely agree with this!! Love his humor so much!! 😂
@@PeaceIsYeshua I love that your name is Peace with Yeshua! ❤️ He is KING
@@sNorENaDo777
Aww, thank you!! He sure is! I’m so thankful I know Him, and I’m so happy you do too! ☺️ Love your three 7’s! God bless you! 🙏🏻❤️
@@PeaceIsYeshua likewise 🙂
Awesome video Hank! It's always a great day when hank posts.
Stay safe, happy trails.
Happy trails Rebekah.
Welcome back to Australia mate, glad you got to enjoy some of our wildlife.
Having lived in coastal NC as well as Fla, alligators have no issue moving up murky/brackish waters to the sea. Don't know about Crocs, but alligators are thriving and have adapted quite well. Great to see a video from you. Much love...
A man appreciates a girl.
@@PecosHank 😘
OMG that article with Daniel’s face was great, lol.
Man, crocodiles are beautifully rugged-looking beasties. Great video as always, sir! ❤
I thought a few of you would get a kick outa that. Thanks webber.
Haha, definitely one of those 'I need to review the comments to see if anyone else saw this' moments. Nice.
@@PecosHank I paused it and moved through frame by frame to see all the articles. It was totally worth it and funny as hell!
Nice
My reaction when I saw that “nice one
I love salties and storms. Nice video hank!
Croc: I'm just gonna shimmy my way up to my dinner.
Me: Oh you cute adorable murder dino!
A Pecos Hank video not tornado related is cool in my opinion
Beauty isn't just a vortex of water vapor and debris.
I knew Daniel Shaw always wanted to go swimming with crocodiles. RIP 🙏
He generally keeps that part of his life a secret. Maybe we can get him to comment here. :D
If you are in Australia right now Hank I really hope you are planning to come to New Zealand too. You will love our native wildlife I'm sure of it.
New Zealand is high on the list, but unfortunately I won't be there soon.
No snakes 😂
What will Hank save from the road? Possums? 😉
Ooh was that a black headed python at the end?!? Those are gorgeous!
100 points for you :D
Can we appreciate how Hank lost his life to save that snake?
😂
Love your videos, music and personality. Thanks for wonderful videos and the effort you go to inform folks like me from the other side of the world
Hope to come to your side of the world soon Johnson. Thanks amigo!
But… I still miss the funnel clouds!!
Lol been a month for me and it's like mathematics the direction of the tornado is going northwest all that mathematics stuff I'm up at 11pm
Pecos Hank videos are always a highlight to the day
From "Sleepwalk" to the "Crocodile Dundee Theme," your music is always transcendent and on point. Love it! 🖤💀🖤
Thank you for this, Hank! Took me back to young days with the family, watching Jacques Cousteau and “Wild Kingdom.”
Love that you did this! ❤
I'm always excited to see Hank upload videos. He narrates his videos so well.
I love how Hank loves reptiles. I'm also a reptile lover. Reptiles, tornadoes, and all the stuff Hank talks about, fall into the category of my favorite things! finding people who have similar tastes is refreshing.
There's a few of us out there. See you in the bush.
@@PecosHank omg you replied my life is complete lol!!!!
I also gotta say i love your background music too. I make my own music as well, though i use a computer.
I look forward to your next video. Your content brings a big smile to my face
Lol love the excitement
Well done, Hank! The beginning was quite ominous, then you give us the good stuff; information and lovely footage of these magnificent creatures. And even a wee snake rescue at the end, yay!
Like how Hank never fails to show his true liking to the wildlife
It's really cool to see that you have such a wide range of interests. Keep up the good work! :)
Pecos Hank notifications get clicked immediately I dont even care
Yeah same
Same.
I'm glad I'm able to see you enjoying other interests you may haven't that aren't just tornadoes!🙂
Hank you just made a documentaty about my favourite animal. Tornadoes and storms aren't the only thing i like of nature. Keep going 😊❤
They are truly magnificent. Keep searching Kevin.
@@PecosHank Thanks
There is no way I would feel safe inside that plexiglass tube.
Yeah, I was wondering where the top of it was...?
Awesome video, I really miss being a patreon already, time flies reallll quickly
You gave more than your hare. Glad to see you here friend.
No problem dude!
Daniel with a crocodile? Seriously ?? Always looking forward to your Vaca videos since it helps me to dream like it's me. Awesome video as always Hank, you never fail to amaze us!
A new pecos hank video. How lucky
Love these videos as always. Spooky atmosphere on this one.
Happy trails Hank :)
Great vid! As an Aussie, thank you for doing justice to the value of this beautiful reptile.
Thanks for everything Steve. Hope to be back soon.
Just another critter in AU that can kill you. Like Drop Bears 😊
@@nhmooytis7058 Never been to Australia, but drop bears are the worst There's a most Vicious cut throat in the entire planet
This is so weird. I was watching a hunting & fishing channel from Louisiana and they were talking about gators walking on water with their tails. Started watching your video and that's exactly what I just saw. So friggin cool dude. You made my day, Salt-water crocs from Australia, man eaters.
2:44 🎶 Soooooo awesome that you played the *“Crocodile Dundee”* tune here!!!! 😂👏🏻👏🏻 You’re the BEST, Hank!!! Love your creativity!
Hope everything is going well Hank!❤ prayers
Pecos is a boss, just saying. Appreciate all you do, sir. 💪🏼
Woah love the editing hank epic video!
That leap was actually insane to see. Never knew that they could, amazing animals. Thanks Hank fun stuff. Quality as always!
Thank you, Hank. Just curious what kind of snake that was at the end? Seemed pretty chill.
Black-headed Python
@@simonbaigrie2485 Cool. Thank you.
@@simonbaigrie2485🤣🤣🤣
@@stillnotwoke yeah we're not real imaginative naming our snakes hey?
@@kentd4762 👍
21 feet, 2200 lbs? That's insane. I knew they got big but didn't know they got that big.
They are awesome....also a bit horrific....overwhelming anaerobic power that can be switched on in an instant- like a machine, basically. But a machine that can learn the habits of its prey.....
@@rosscayley8773 Glad there's none where I live!
@bwxmoto me too! (they are tropical animals so southern Australia doesn't have them), and they sure do take a bit of the shine off going for a quick dip on a stinking hot day......
@@rosscayley8773 Yeah the only thing I have to worry about are bears, but black bears are pretty timid most of the time. But they could still kill you if they felt like it. Oh and rattlesnakes.. or maybe a pack of coy-dogs. Not too bad.
Hey Hank! 👋🏆🌹
I love your adoration of the beauty of nature. Big fan from Knoxville, TN.
I love all the strange and wonderful animals in Australia! Love watching your videos! Should have a documentary show on tv! PECOS HANKS AMAZING ADVENTURES
Now to make a video on how crocs and tornadoes influence each other in nature!
"Crocnado" Coming to a cinema near you.
When dodging lighting bolts and tornado’s just isn’t dangerous enough.
Welcome to Aus! If you're into dangerous wildlife, check out the Cassowary while you're here...also watch out for Dropbears ;) Anyhoo, happy travels! Thanks- from one nature lover to another- for the always entertaining and interesting videos over the years. Peace ☮
Nice video Hank! Thanks!
It doesnt get cuter than Hank having a chat with a snek on the street
Hank, no matter how long or short, your videos are compelling and interesting from start to finish. And with the type of person you seem to be, nobody deserves to find a “Blackie” in its habitat more than you👍🏻. Way to go Sir. What a natural gem.
This was the most wholesome nature video of all time!!! The ending scene seriously got me smiling like a little kid!! Thank you so much Hank! 🥲✨
That is the most gorgeous cover of Crocwalking I’ve ever heard.
That is freaky! Won't catch me in that water, even behind protective plexiglass! That is extraordinary watching them jump up like that!
'Pecos'!!!!
It has been awhile since I have seen your channel..... now chasing Crocs!! (from chasing tornadoes!!)
LOVE that 'pickin' with guitar of "Crocodile Dundee" theme.... Cool Beans!
Those critters are terrifying!
Great vid Hank. Love the Crocodile Dundee music... nice touch. 🙂
This channel is so impressive that I gave him a shoutout in my community tab
As always a great presentation! Bravo Hank!
Love to see the Australian content! Gotta come in the monsoon season to see some weather though. There are occasional coldies-cold weather tornadoes, in the south though
I'm voting Pecos Hank takes over the nature documentaries after David Attenborough kicks the bucket
Almost 10 years of starting the Tornado series since 2013 keep it up hank
And Always Happy Trails
Hank nice job with the soundtrack! I spotted your cover of the Crocodile Dundee theme!!!
All crocodiles and alligators are so gorgeous animals!! I love how they launch themselves up out of the water like Intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Yeah, so "gorgeous" you should hug and kiss one... 😉
That is so cool! I learned a bit more about Crocs today 😁
Can't put together the words for how ridiculously much I love your channel and content!
Thanks so soo incredibly much for sharing, much appreciation and many thanks from Sweden!
😄🙏🏻🙏🏻
This video helped a lot, thanks!!
Great video ! Thanks
Cool video, Hank
Buenos días tardes noches para tod@s, gracias por tus videos
Salud Jorge!
Wonderful, educational piece. Thanks for the upload, Hank!!
Awesome Hank! 👍
Great snake save at the end 🐍
1:39 that "Buffalo and cattle" was like 🤯 "I'm outta here!"
The shoulder shimmy when the crocs come out of the water! 😂
Well such an amazing and awesome unique new video from Pecos hank this was a beautiful one to watch I hope I see you in the next one Hank

Fantastic video Hank style! 😁👍🐢🐉🐊🦈
FIRST PECOS!!! Haha. Excellent as always. Enjoy your trip!
Always excited when Hank uploads 🙂
I am watching everything produced by Pecos Hank.Imo the best channel on UA-cam when it comes to stormchasing,TLE,s,wildlife and the high educative info on his channel...and that combined with his own created music from his band Southern Backtones and his good narration voice and sense of humor.Thanks 4 uploading and happy trails Hank😊
I absolutely love your tornado videos! But this is a very good video and a change from what you normally! More of these would be awesome.
I actually first found your channel because of your videos on reptiles, really happy to see your interest in them remains :)
Great video! Would love to see more of these from you!
Hope you enjoyed Australia! Great video as always.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Daniel got his face in the paper.. Brilliant .. great work, Hank. Another great video, sir
Hank you are amazing my man.
Ha, those newspaper articles at 1:15 are a great read. I'd like to imagine you had a lot of fun writing those ;-)
Perfect way to end my night! Thanks Hank!
This is the tutorial what I've been looking for! Thank you!
Love the Dundee sounds you snuck in there Hank. Nice.
Loved the video❤❤❤
Oh this one’s gonna do some numbers, sir.

Love your Crocodile Dundee music remix.
