Fatal crocodile attacks are extraordinarily rare in Australia – and there is no evidence to suggest their numbers are too high.
Illegal tin miners take their lives in their hands. The craters they leave behind fill with water – and attract crocs.
Invasive species such as deer, pigs and rabbits might help boost native predator populations.
A non-fatal crocodile attack on a tourist last week made headlines. But talk of culling is an over-reaction to a fairly isolated incident.
Despite the filthy waters they often reside in, saltwater crocodiles don’t get sick that often. Perhaps we could one day harness the special proteins that help them.
More than half of all crocodile species are a high priority for conservation according to the assessment.
While crocodiles are not native to Canada, fossil traces have been found in northern British Columbia that indicate that during the Cretaceous Period, giant crocodiles roamed.
Crocodiles can survive without food for a long time – even up to more than a year – because of how well they can save their energy.
Reptiles get a bad rap, but this is because they’re misunderstood. Promoting healthy reptile pet ownership can contribute to conservation and education efforts.
Gunggamarandu maunala is the first Australian croc discovered from a group called the tomistomines. And its prehistoric presence in modern-day Queensland means there could be more discoveries to come.
For an ecologist working in a tangle of creeks in North Queensland, crocodiles are a tangible threat. We are food to them, yet we must learn to co-exist with these creatures.
New research shows crocodiles have landed upon an equilibrium state of evolution.
The strange appearance of three humpback whales in a Kakadu river threw up many questions – including whether they’d come out on top in a fight with a crocodile.

Reptiles are consistently overlooked by regulators of the trade in wildlife, but many face extinction in the wild.
In the villages of central Gujurat, humans and wildlife are forced to share the same spaces – with varying consequences.
While crocodylian fossil swim traces have been described from other continents, to the best of our knowledge the examples we describe are the first such reptilian swim traces from Africa.
Paleontologists created an evolutionary map of how croc body size changed over the last 200 million years – with some interesting implications for today’s species.
Fewer than 1,000 Siamese crocodiles exist, but can captive crocs survive again in the wild?
