Nth Qld Crocodiles


Some photos of five different sal****er crocodiles on 2kms of the lower reaches of the Mulgrave River in Nth Qld (River is Freswater here but not far from Brackish/Salt). As long as people heed the signs erected there should not be any incidents, but there have been some seen close or in these waters.!!. The photos were taken at 9:30am on Friday 16/08/2013, we did not realize what was to unfold as the croc was stirring slightly, then aggressively and the body of a wild pig floated up beside him. The photos of the pig hanging from his jaws were taken from a 100 ft high bank as he slowly floated down river.

The first 2 photos are of an approx 4.5m+ croc.

No.3. is a very large approx 5m+ croc.

No.4. is a smallish 3m one near where the one took the pig.

No.5. the section of river where this happened, looks great but Beware.!.

Nos. 6 to 13 are the events as they occurred and this croc is about 4.5m +.

Nos. 14/15 are an approx 4m croc. 

Cheers Kev.

Thanks for those KevKim.  I've got a problem with No 3 though.  No matter how much I enlarge it, I cannot see a Croc.  Where should I be looking ?

Cheers,

Sheba.

Sorry about that somehow the photos have been rearranged when uploading. It should read

No.1 is part of the pig eating sequence.

No.2 is an approx 3m croc near the episode of the croc eating the pig on the same sandbar.

No3. is a lovely section of this river where it all happened,definitely not for Swimming,Fishing close to banks. Very deceiving.!.

No.4/5. are the 4.5m+ croc.

No.6. is a very large 5m+ croc.

No.1 and 7 to13 are slightly mixed up but are the events of the 4.5m+ croc eating and floating down the river with the pig.

No.14/15. are of a 4m croc.

My Apologies, hope this clarifies the photos better.

Cheers Kev.

Cheers,
