So, larger males will take over rivers, while smaller crocodiles will get smaller rivers. This means the food that they eat differs, however, saltwater crocodiles can eat pretty much anything. They are predators by nature and can take on animals to eat that are even bigger than them! Crocodiles use the water to shield their presence from their prey and then will wait until they get close enough to the water and carry out an ambush!
The saltwater crocodile has gone extinct in many parts of the world and in the past, this type of crocodile has been hunted for its exterior skin. There were many reports of people killing these crocodiles illegally and their habitats being lost. Because of this, they are “moderately endangered,” though not of very high concern. Locals are not yet worried about it, though we should keep an eye out!
