where to crocodiles live
Salties, as we Aussies call these Australian crocodiles, eat mainly small reptiles, fish, turtles, wading birds etc..., but they can also kill and eat much larger prey. They are known to take wild pigs, buffaloes, and also live stock like cattle and horses. The name saltwater crocodile is misleading. Salties can live in the brackish waters along the coastlines but are just as happy in freshwater rivers, swamps and billabongs many hundred kilometres inland. Breeding and raising of the young saltwater crocodiles actually happens in freshwater areas.
