Cool-a-bah ... by RawImages
Crocodiles sweat through their mouth and the gesture of lying with their mouth wide open is just a way to cool off.

Freshwater Croc by tarnyacox
Taken in Katherine on a little BBQ / boat ride / freshwater croc feeding adventure. While you’re milling around the BBQ enjoying wine and cheese the crocs sneak up onto the bank and await their turn – you can’t get much closer than that! Just awesome!!

Hungry! by elanusphotos
Estuarine (Salty) Crocodile Crocodylus porosus on the hunt for… well for me, Crickey! We had never had aggressive postures from the crocs on Yellow Waters before, and on this day we were concentrating on some Comb-crested Jacana chicks (see Baby Comb-crested Jacana ), when this croc turned and headed towards us with intent. As I leaned over the bow of the boat to get at eye level with it, my mate found that the outboard motor was clogged with weed and my wife felt that the 3 metre long tinny was not likely to provide much protection from a territorial ‘Salty’. Suffice to say, we withdrew, it backed down, and I grabbed this shot. Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia. Featured in the group Reptiles and Amphibians

Meet Eric (2) ... he would be delighted to make your acquaintance by Trevor Needham
I took this off the Kimberley coast of Western Australia last year. The infamous Australian salt-water crocodile. Note this is NOT a zoo animal – it’s a for-real wild crocodile. The crew of our ship told us this crocodile was named Eric. Confusingly, they then told us that all crocodiles in the Kimberley are called Eric!! Further proof that crocodiles don’t have much imagination. But at least when you meet one you know what to call it (nice Eric, please don’t bite my leg off)! This one was about 10 feet long, not big by saltie standards but still big enough to make a fatal mess of you should it so choose. It hung around our ship all day looking for handouts. I got some great shots and, especially, some great video footage. I was perturbed to see the crew feeding it scraps from the boat. Not a good idea really. It encourages the animal to view humans as a source of food and also encourages the animal to follow boats around, which could put humans at risk and consequently could put the crocodile at risk as well.

Saltwater Crocodile by Nickolay Stanev
This 4 meter long saltwater crocodile is about to jump out of the water and grab a piece of meat dangling from a pole. This is in a billabong near Litchfield National Park, Australia. Funnily enough, this was one of the very few times when I was shooting wildlife and wishing I hadn’t my 70-300mm lens on. 70mm wasn’t wide enough to fit the whole beast in the frame! This image was featured in the Australian Wildlife group.
