I didn't anticipate that the crocs would be so close that I didn't need my telephoto zoom lens, the fact that they can jump makes you feel a little vulnerable inside the boat. I saw some jump up, getting their whole body and backlegs out of the water.
These guys are big too, many in the 2-4m range (6.5-13.1 feet) long. One salt water crocodile shot in the 1970s measured over 6 metres.
The guides on the boats knew and recognised many of the crocs, could tell us which were male and which were female and even had names for them.
woo that's close, glad you didn't fall in!
