Freshwater crocodile The freshwater crocodile (freshie) is a much smaller crocodile than the fearsome ‘saltie’. Full-grown males rarely grow more than three metres long, with the t ail accounting for almost half of their length. These crocodiles are also more shy of interactions with people, although they can still deliver a nasty bite if provoked or startled. However, unlike a saltie, they don’t see you as their dinner – most of their diet consists of very small creatures like frogs, lizards and birds. They catch these by lying quietly in wait of a meal to pass close by. Cane toads are poisonous to freshies, whose numbers have declined since the introduction of this invasive feral species. Show more
