CROCODILES IN AUSTRALIA.  

In Northern Australia there are two kinds of crocodiles.  

One kind is found in the inland rivers, and is known as  

Johnstone’s crocodile. The backs of these are brown, spotted  

with black; while the underneath parts are yellowish-  

brown.  

very different creature is the saltwater crocodile of  

the northern rivers. Specimens of this huge lizard, measur-  

ing twenty-five feet from snout to tail-tip have been shot.  

The principal food of these reptiles is the large sand mullet,  

and other fish; but they will eat cattle, horses, and even  

human beings when they can get them.  

So fierce are they that sharks will keep away from  

waters haunted by crocodiles. story is told of naval officer  

who once visited North Australia. He wished to bathe in  

the clear waters of large lagoon, and the natives told  

him that no sharks ever came near it. So he proceeded  

to enjoy swim.
