Sneaky is a very impressive and beautiful beast. His head alone looks to be a good 3 to 4 feet. You can tell he spends a lot of time down there with all the algae growing on his face. Truly a prehistoric hold back.

Yep, Sneaky is a real monster. He is however about 10 feet shorter than the current record, set in 1957 on the Norman River in Queensland. Google Krys Pawlowski, the lady who shot him. There's a life sized statue outside the Normanton Shire Office. Pleasant dreams ...

[@mattleblanc4022]

Thats a complete nonsense. I would aprecciate if you would stop spreading lies. "Among crocodiles, however, the largest skull, measuring 76 cm., belonged to a saltwater crocodile from Cambodia, now at the Paris Museum."

They are not Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are specific type of animal, not all "prehistoric reptiles" are Dinosaurs. Even in the colloquial sense dinosaur still refers to specific kind of animal, and that animal isn't a croc.

How about you read up on Crocodiles that could eat dinosaurs. Largest Crocodiles that could prey on massive carnivores in the prehistoric era. What about those from the past? How did they evolve?

[@northernlight696]

I am a Canadian who took a Jumping Crock Cruise down the Adelaide in 2014 when I visited Darwin. They pick you up at your hotel early AM in the tour bus and return you at night. What a fantastic day we had. It was only around $100.00 back then. I remember they had to remind people not to rush to one side of the boat to get a better view of the crocks because we could tip over. I was frozen to my seat after that 😂😂😂😂

[@megorex630]

I just got to do a jumping crocodile cruise from Darwin back in February and it was the coolest thing ever. They had to tell people to keep their butts on the seat and if anyone didn’t listen then the cruise was over. We were feeding a cute crocodile named Miss, and then out of nowhere a huge flash of lightning and simultaneous thunder and 3 crocs on the banks scurried into the water, we had no idea they were even there. Did you get goosebumps when making eye contact with them too? I did lol and I live in florida and have gators in my backyard but I’m never inches from their snouts. 😅

I like how the crocodile named "Sneaky" is also covered in "camoflouge" in the form of what looks like moss.

[@tamipierce5916]

I wonder if that's because he hangs at the bottom mostly...?!!

[@zztalk646]

I'm surprised nobody thought to implant a tracking chip to Dominator to pinpoint his location if he's popular with tourists. I'm mean sure it wouldn't be good to bother him 24/7, but if he was in a specific location on the river from time to time, it would be convenient to keep a record of his movements if he's as big as they say.

[@ethantan2913]

y-you gonna volunteer to try??

[@Velociiraptor]

@@ethantan2913they can tranquilize him

[@ArmednotTriggered]

It would be very difficult. Crocodiles are easily stressed, so catching them for anything can lead to their death. They don't do well being put under. You wouldn't be able to tag them like you would a shark. Look at Sneaky's scales. You'd bend a needle trying to get anything done.

[@Gfredriksson]

Crocodiles are near in inpossible to kill my man. You could quite literally hook a meat hook through it. Chopper it across Australia and drop it in the ocean and she would swim off fine. They regularly take each other's limbs and continue on like its nothing. Not sure where you heard that but it's wildly incorrect

[@beazrich2.017]

The river also has extremely strong currents too. And Saltwater crocodiles are also one of the few animals on the planet that would actively hunt humans. It has happened in the past especially during WW2 when the Japanese were eaten in a large swamp on Ramree island by these large crocodiles. Most dangerous animals (excluding humans obviously), on Earth in my opinion. 1. Water Buffalo 2. Hippopotamus 3. Polar Bears 4. Saltwater Crocodiles 5. Golden Lancehead viper

[@itsjackson]

mosquitos: hold my malaria

[@jayjacobl4667]

​@@itsjackson debatable, since its the malaria doing the killing, not specifically the mosquito itself. but still a good point.

Water Buffalo over tiger is nuts...... Tigers have killed more than 300000 humans till date

[@jayjacobl4667]

​@@Ro-fd6qu He probably meant cape buffalo, but even so, I'd argue tigers are more dangerous, since they're much more likely to attack humans unprovoked.

[@Cheddar_Wizard]

I’d argue polar bears are more dangerous or at least as dangerous as hippos and water buffalo. If we’re talking sheer casualty numbers that’d be different, as the vast majority of people will never be even close to polar bear territory, so the number of deaths and injury by polar bear will remain very low compared to other predators.

My dad told me a story about Louisiana, USA. One night in the 70s my dad was at a bar with some coworkers. It was just across a bridge from the cheap motel they were all staying in, they were traveling railroad workers. So while at the bar, one of the men realized he left his smokes behind and went back to the motel. On his trip back he decided to wade through the water as the walk to the bridge and all was a distance. But you could literally see the bar from the motel parking lot. In the morning they were in awe at the river he had crossed. Shallow water, but infested with gators all over from shore to shore. A valuable lesson for an old Kansas boy

Fun Fact! did you know that the saltwater crocodile has the strongest bit of any living animal and that they can kill a great white shark?

[@tonylego2364]

Baby great white maybe. Typically you only see salties kill small bull sharks. But it's usually vice versa. Great whites have huge maneuverability and speed advantages in water. Croc doesn't have a chance vs an adult white.

[@jayjacobl4667]

one of the few animals that regularly view adult humans as food, and not just due to mistaken identity or due to being unable to hunt normal prey (along with polar bears, nile crocs, komodo dragons, largest constrictor specimens, and a couple others).

[@Brandon-hg7ic]

What are the others ?

[@jayjacobl4667]

​@@Brandon-hg7ic maybe debatably some species of sharks (tiger, oceanic whitetip?), some big cats maybe (although usually its a case of the cat being unable to hunt normal prey i think?), other large crocs as well maybe too. hyenas sometimes.

[@Predation_records]

Some eagle species see children as prey

[@mrbeanspainting]

the number of feeding tours has encouraged crocs to be closer to boats due to them expecting to be fed

Nile Crocodiles are equally as dangerous while being more capable predators than Saltwater Crocodiles. This is because Nile Crocodiles are more powerfully built overall with higher bite forces than Saltwater Crocodiles. And this is due to Nile Crocodiles preying on larger and more powerful animals far more often than Saltwater Crocodiles and therefore Nile Crocodiles evolving into more powerful predators.
