Dangerous and Deadly: Saltwater Crocodile

Matt, a Reptile Keeper at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo, presents Rex one of the world's largest saltwater crocodiles! Guests visiting WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo can come face-to-face with this 5 metre, 700kg croc and may even have the opportunity to see him eat.

Terrifying creature; gives me chills just watching the video. Very nice exhibit, too.

[@tysonic777]

That’s a new one, they try to give you a harem but you’re too mean to get laid. Respect

[@edchanful]

if only lolong live in like this captivity, he will be still alive today

[@antoine6760]

I was already looking forward to seeing this comment, and Lolongs pool wasn't even big enough to house a croc 3 meters shorter than him. :(

[@tealover7058]

g ag lolong was bigger than 6 meters

[@xcr4pzff41]

@g ag lol all claims but no proof 😂 Gtfoh!

[@xcr4pzff41]

@g ag come here in phillipines we have 50 ft croc! 😂😂How about that? Easy to make story kid! But no proof ! Lol

[@Surge-ns3he]

@@xcr4pzff41 u should have put lolong in a proper enclosure like this, not ur stupid little pond that killed him. And then to make it worse u drained pond so tourists could see his size, u guys are such a joke! All about money too u guys, such greed.

Excellent video. I was born and raised in Florida which is like diet australia. The alligators are nowhere near as dangerous as the crocodiles that you guys have. I think that most of the country thinks that the alligators are that dangerous and it's comical because they're not haha. But excellent video. I have a green anaconda and people are shocked at what I feed her. She's almost 9 ft and she gets either a jumbo rat or a 12 oz rabbit every 5 to 6 weeks and then 3 months off food in the winter time and she's growing like a champ. Most people I see that have them grossly overfeed them I mean like horrifically overfeed them to the point where they end up taking decades off their lives due to obesity. My next step is to get into alligators. I live in Georgia now but I can go back and forth. Hopefully one day it'll be saltwater crocs.

[@ApatchiApatchi]

Why 🤔 ?

[@mikes5637]

I'd like to know if he ate the 2 female crocs or just killed them. Cos if he ate them 3 chickens a week ain't doing it.

[@AdstarAPAD]

When they kill a larger animal they will take the body and wedge it between rocks or longs at the bottom of the lake or river and let it go soft.. They will keep coming back to the dead prey for weeks eating it bit by bit.. This Croc would not have consumed the female all in one sitting..

At about 00:59, Matt states, incorrectly, that there are "23 species of saltwater crocodiles". In fact (without getting too technical, and based on current nomenclature), there are 23 species of crocodilians : 2 alligators, 6 caimans, 14 crocodiles, and 1 gharial. Matt, would you please name for me a species of "saltwater crocodile" other than Crocodylus porosus? I look forward to your reply.

[@haventgotoverit]

Steevee14 stfu smartass.

[@Steevee14]

I don't know whether I'm a "smartass" or not, but I know more about crocodilians than Matt! I'm still waiting to learn about a "species of saltwater crocodile" other than Crocodylus porosus!

[@Und1234]

I'm pretty sure that was just an accidental error. He then goes on to talk about how "these ones are one of the largest and most aggressive" (presumably talking about Crocodylus porosus). He is indeed correct, salties are the largest and most aggressive of all the crocodilians. There's no need to act like a smartass when anyone with an ounce of sense can tell that the guy just made a mistake.

[@Steevee14]

To "The Undisputed": I never said that Matt made his error intentionally, but, since he IS a keeper and lecturer at the Sydney Zoo, I would have to assume that he has delivered that same lecture (at least) dozens of times, and that he has essentially memorized its salient points. His statement that there are "23 species of saltwater crocodiles" certainly seems to be one of his well-memorized lines; even if he had stated, "there are 23 species of crocodiles" - that would have been incorrect - correctly stated, the statement would be: there are "23 species of crocodilians", so, for him to state "23 species of saltwater crocodiles", indicates to me that he most likely believes that his (well-rehearsed) statement is correct. By the way, I am curious about your source for your statement: salties are the "...most aggressive of all the crocodilians" - isn't "aggressive" a rather subjective and anthropomorphic term? Can you cite any peer-reviewed scientific article that corroborates your statement? Is the Nile crocodile any less "aggressive" than the saltwater crocodile? If you talk to people who have worked with crocodilians, I think you would find agreement that the Cuban crocodile is the most pugnacious and difficult croc species to work with, although, again, that conclusion is largely subjective and unprovable. Finally, in your way of thinking, is anyone who (logically/factually, and without "name-calling") points out an error made by another person, a "smartass"? What did I say that caused you to conclude that I acted "like a smartass"?

Don't argue on the internet, if u're a smart guy

[@Cure4theCold]

Crocodiles seem to be the most efficient animals on earth. Lives relatively long, 80 to 100+ years on the equivalent of 3 chickens a day.

[@-shingod-4818]

Its 1 to 3 chicken once a week, indeed beautiful animal

[@lifeisajoke5997]

This is a cool crocodile.

[@saratok4580]

I own a 14 footer in my croc eats alot ,just because you guys put him on a diet don't mean he not hungry, but he is kinda small.but the more fooler the more u can do,,well mine likes his scales brush down

*sharks are the most dangerous animals* Yeah..... you clearly haven't seen a crocodile

Most shark attacks are mainly checking out the “creature”. A lot of them don’t bother you. Try it with a croc!

[@evolvedturtleproductions7600]

Isn't "Dangerous and Deadly" a bit repetitive and/or/and/or/and/or redundant?

am I the only one who gets hungry whenever I look at a crocodile or gator?..

[@user-zh8bk2gf2n]

JustLiving305 yes

[@viperbroncoalmasty]

Bet if you fell in he would eat you and have no problem eating his chicken next week. In the wild he would eat more and more often. But biologist feel that all creatures can survive on the bare minimum amount of food.

[@elijahglasser1421]

Sometimes big and hungry

Crocs can eat a whole buffalo, I think he's malnourished, throw a live cow and see how long it lasts

[@onion4976]

Yeah I see your point, but in the wild, I don't think they get to eat as often so consistently, so maybe the buffalo was the crocodile's first meal in 2 months.

I'm surprised he gave a wrong answer as to why crocs don't hunt fish.Crocs can't hunt underwater.Water will get into their lungs.They always hunt on the surface.Basically divers are safe from crocs.

[@TridentGP7]

M.I.K.E and they are known to drag down unsuspecting swimmers underwater.. they can always DRAG you first and eat later..

[@JewelRocks123]

G Gar Thats why I said Divers and not swimmers.Swimmers swim on the surface, divers underwater.Crocs can't hunt underwater.

[@TridentGP7]

more likely feeding underwater.. they do hunt underwater, but are not consuming it there.

[@JewelRocks123]

G Gar they don't hunt underwater, thats why even in aquariums, you can see schools of fishes swimming next to them, but crocs never eat them.

[@TridentGP7]

yes, but there are cases where they actually dragged people's feet underwater, like this one: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4898304/Shaman-dragged-crocodile-infested-Indonesian-lake.html although what the narrator said might have been true, it's not worth their diet. Caimans in amazon are also known to feed on fish, not a saltie, but still crocodilian, same anatomy.

Stuck in a diet of boring chicken meat every week like WTF! There are tons of feral bush tucker out there that doesn't belong to Australia for crying out loud. What's the matter, your zoo's to broke to hire a bunch of hunting parties to catch feral species to be fed to your animals?? Use your feral species like cats, buffaloes, rats and feral hogs. Except don't feed em cane toads but you get what i mean. It will save your zoo tons of money using organic meat! Imagine yourself eating chicken for the rest of your miserable lifespan on earth. Some life!
