Bro Drifter from the pic of the crocodile at the reservoir, do you think its a Saltwater or a River crocodile?
Bro I can't really tell from the pic but ...
1) Fresh water crocodiles have a narrower snout
2) Fresh water crocodiles and are smaller than the "Saltys"
3) Fresh water crocodiles can only live in fresh or slight salty water, whilst the saltwater crocodile can survive in both types of water.
4) Saltys lay eggs in nests of vegetation whilst freshwater crocs lay their eggs in sand.
5) Fresh water crocs teeth are shaped more like needles for piercing fish.
6) Saltwater Crocs reproduce in the WET season while Freshwater Crocs reproduce in the DRY season
