Saltwater Crocodile

The saltwater crocodile can adapt to both saltwater adn freshwater as it inhabits freshwater rivers in the tropical wet seasons but can venture out far into the ocean if needed. During the wet seasons, the crocodiles find mates and defend the nest for their eggs until they hatch. The mother will stay with the young for several months after hatching to help teach them to hunt and adapt. Saltwater crocodiles are the largest reptiles today and they are extremely territorial, so they often attack humans because they see them as prey in their territory. The saltwater crocodile is endangered, but it is at lower risk of extinction. In order to protect these monsterous miracles, poaching can be prevented and wildlife reserves can be an effort to help these animals peacefully reproduce.
