Video @melissalesh and @tbfrost | A 14 to 15 foot male saltwater crocodile slowly swims along the Mary River in the Northern Territory of Australia. The Mary river is famous for having the highest density of saltwater crocodiles in the world. On a 30 minute boat ride down some stretches of this river you can easily spot several dozen very, very large saltwater crocodiles. What I love about this video though is that it shows how perfectly crocodiles move through the water. Notice the only disturbance to the water is the small bow wave created by the crocodiles snout? Australians joke that they know a crocodile is big when it creates a bow wave when swimming. The reason they create such little disturbance when swimming is partly because the little ridges on their backs, called scutes, create cross currents that cancel each other out, allowing them to be the ultimate masters of stealth. I like to think of wildlife as super heroes, because they can do so much we can't.
Excited to be returning to this place I love so much in November for a new project with National Geographic.
