Saltwater Crocodile Photos III

, , , ,

The good thing about photographing crocodiles is that they can occur in very high concentrations (cold-blooded animals are a lot more efficient energy users) - and - their range is quite predictable.

With saltwater crocodiles being a conservation success story, if you find the right place, you get a lot of opportunities for different shots.

This youngish croc was enjoying a bit of sun when we found it. You get a good opportunity to see the plate that blocks its oesophagus at the back of its throat.

This is a great series, and must have been a joy to take.
