Abstract

The article presents an interview with Grahame Webb, the director of Wildlife Management International in Darwin, Australia on view about crocodiles. He admires crocodiles greatly. He finds them to be tough and tenacious survivors. He has been attacked a few times but only bitten once in the field. He would dive into rivers and untangle lines and nets to ensure a trapped croc didn't drown. He would wade in swamps looking for their nests and even swim down croc channels in the swamps. When he started researching about saltwater crocodiles, one could fly all around the rivers in the Northern Territory and not see this animal.
