Freshwater crocodile

Freshwater predators
As Australia’s only endemic crocodile, the freshwater crocodile—also known as the Johnstone River crocodile—calls Northern Australia’s rivers, creeks, and wetlands home. With narrow jaws and sharp teeth, they’re skilled hunters of small prey, from insects and fish to even the occasional bat.
