Salties!

I read the other day that the park rangers from the Northern Territory Parks and Wildlife Commission confirmed that they have removed a 4.5 metre male croc - from the McArthur River. 

Apparently it would have been even longer but it had lost part of its tail!

These saltwater or estuarine crocs, or 'salties' as they call them here,  are real monsters and can grow to massive proportions.
