Freshwater Crocodile (Crocodylus johnstoni)
The Freshwater Crocodile can be found in Northern Australia. This species is also Johnston's Crocodile, commemorating the amateur naturalist Robert Arthur Johnstone, who first reported it.
They have light brown bodies with darker bands at the back and tail. Males typically measure up to 9 feet, while females average around 7 feet. Their narrow snouts, distinguishing them from other crocs, are ideal for catching fish, insects, and small amphibians.
These freshwater crocodiles inhabit rivers, wetlands, and creeks, living away from Saltwater Crocodiles as much as possible to avoid confrontation.
