Saltwater crocodiles are the largest reptiles in the world (in terms of weight). They can grow to over 6 metres and their jaws can exert a pressure of several tons. They are huge, territorial and aggressive, and they are plentiful across the Kimberley.

Some important facts:

The name saltwater crocodiles is misleading. Salties live just as happily in freshwater many hundred kilometres inland...
Saltwater crocodiles have been a protected species since the 1970s. Since then their numbers have been growing and growing.
Salties are very territorial creatures. Every grown male crocodile needs its own territory.
Can you see what I'm getting at? Put all the above facts together, add that the number of Kimberley tourists and residents is growing as well, and you can see how the potential for conflict is increasing. So please, be Kimberley crocodile safe and observe the following rules.
