Saltwater Crocodile 
Crocodylus porosus 

The city of Darwin in Australia’s Northern Territory lies in the heart of 
crocodile country. In the 1950s, saltwater crocodiles were shot, skinned, and 
turned into shoes and handbags. After hunting was banned in the 1970s, 
crocodile numbers climbed. Now there’s a croc for every man, woman, and child 
in Darwin. Can the human citizens learn to live alongside their toothy 
neighbors?
