Freshwater Crocodile
The Freshwater Crocodile, also known as the Johnston’s Crocodile, is a small but mighty species native to the rivers, lakes, and wetlands of northern Australia and New Guinea. Unlike their larger, more aggressive relatives, these crocodiles are more timid and prefer the calm waters of freshwater environments.
Growing up to around 3 metres in length, they have a slender, agile build and are known for their exceptional swimming skills. They primarily feed on fish, small mammals, and birds, using their stealth and patience to ambush prey.
Though generally less confrontational than saltwater crocodiles, the Freshwater Crocodile still commands respect in its ecosystem. Sadly, like many reptiles, it faces threats from habitat loss and human activity. At Crocodiles of the World, our Freshwater Crocodiles provide a rare opportunity to see this often-overlooked species up close and appreciate their unique role in Australia’s wild spaces.
