Saltwater Crocodiles are efficient predators which specialise in hunting at the water’s edge. They can remain seemingly motionless for long periods, but don’t be fooled by their inertness. They are watching and waiting for food and can strike without warning.
Crocodiles are very territorial creatures. They fiercely protect their section of a waterhole or riverbank. Their territorial nature means they are solitary animals and do not like to share their space with other animals.
