Do I need to be concerned about about crocodiles?
A. Crocodiles are one of Australia’s most feared animals. The Daintree is home to two types of crocodile – the freshwater crocodile and the estuarine (or saltwater) crocodile. Although these animals are important to conserve, they can pose a serious threat to people. Freshwater crocodiles pose less danger but estuarine crocodiles are very dangerous animals. Estuarine crocodiles live in coastal rivers and estuaries in the Daintree National Park. Heed the warning signs and don’t swim in these waters. Better to take a river cruise and observe these creatures in their natural habitat.
