■ About saltwater crocodiles
The most extensive crocodile of the planet is the saltwater crocodile. They live in vast areas and inhabit the brackish and freshwater bodies of East India, Southeast Asia and North Australia. They are very good swimmers and are often found far offshore in the ocean.
Saltwater crocodiles prey on anything they can catch with their strong jaws, from buffaloes to monkeys to wild boars to sharks. When killing prey, it takes advantage of the opponent's gap, strikes the water with its powerful tail, jumps out of the water, grabs the prey, drags it, and does not let go until it drowns.
