Fix this textCROCODILES IN AUSTRALIA.
Fix this textIn Northern Australia there are two kinds of crocodiles.
Fix this textOne kind is found in the inland rivers, and is known as
Fix this textJohnstone’s crocodile. The backs of these are brown, spotted
Fix this textwith black; while the underneath parts are yellowish-
Fix this textbrown.
Fix this textA very different creature is the saltwater crocodile of
Fix this textthe northern rivers. Specimens of this huge lizard, measur-
Fix this texting twenty-five feet from snout to tail-tip have been shot.
Fix this textThe principal food of these reptiles is the large sand mullet,
Fix this textand other fish; but they will eat cattle, horses, and even
Fix this texthuman beings when they can get them.
Fix this textSo fierce are they that sharks will keep away from
Fix this textwaters haunted by crocodiles. A story is told of a naval officer
Fix this textwho once visited North Australia. He wished to bathe in
Fix this textthe clear waters of a large lagoon, and the natives told
Fix this texthim that no sharks ever came near it. So he proceeded
Fix this textto enjoy a swim.
