Darwin Crocodile Tours and Parks
Everyone loves crocodiles - don't they?? Darwin crocodile tours and parks allow you to get up close and personal with Australia's top predator, crocodylus porosus, the Estuarine Crocodile. More commonly known as saltwater crocodiles or salties, these ancient animals are now common throughout Northern Australia after nearly being wiped out by extensive hunting for their valuable skins. Australia's other native crocodile, the freshwater Johnstone Crocodile is smaller , not as common and mainly found further inland in freshwater rivers and billabongs.
