TIMID CREATURES

Freshwater crocs are generally timid creatures and have a diet consisting mainly of small animals such as insects, fish, frogs, lizards, turtles, bats and waterbirds, and should be left alone if observed in the wild. They can be distinguished from estuarine (or saltwater) crocs by their smaller size and narrower snouts. However like many wild animals, freshwater crocodiles may show aggressive behaviour if they feel threatened or cornered and visitors are encouraged not to approach the animal if they are lucky enough to see it in the wild.
