Crocodile safety
Crocodiles are potentially dangerous to humans but they are incapable of running down a person on land. They very rarely capture prey away from the water.
Crocodiles are often reported to be ‘thoughtful’ or ‘cunning’ in their attacks. Even very large crocodiles can remain unseen in shallow water.
Their extraordinary sight, smell and other sensory organs alert them to the presence of potential prey. They can attack from any depth of water, including while underwater.
If a crocodile is hunting you, you will not know it.
To stay safe from crocodiles, people are advised to maintain a safe distance from the water's edge, avoid swimming in areas with crocodile warning signs, and never provoke or feed crocodiles. They are also urged to be extra vigilant at night and during the breeding season (September to April), and avoid small watercraft like kayaks and paddleboards
