"THE CROCODILE:
MAGNIFICIENT AND DEADLY SURVIVOR
The crocodile is a royal remnant from a bygone age. He is related to the dinosaurs and once shared the world with them. Australian saltwater crocodiles are the world's largest terrestrial carnivores. They may grow to six metres in length, 1000 kilograms in weight and live 100 years.
A large crocodile can be invisible below the surface in only 45 centimetres of water. Yet he hears every footfall on the shore, registers each passing shadow of movement.
When the time comes to attack, the crocodile explodes through the surface in whirl of teeth and spray. Yellow eyes ablaze...the complete and perfect predator. Nature's perfect trap.
In Australia men and women have been among its victims. Yet the crocodile itself has become a victim of Homo sapiens. The evolutionary newcomer on the scene, man, reduced the crocodile numbers by hunting and habitat alterations to levels where protection was needed to ensure their survival.
There has been a bloody interchange in the past between the two species. What does the future hold for this magnificent and superbly adapted creature?"
