So, it could come into the boat, right?

It could come into the boat?

You'll be right,

so long as you don't go in the water.

I'm not planning on it, I tell you that.

There's a salty.

They're so still.

- Check this out.

- That's great. That's great!

Dad, imagine if it bit you.

It's amazing.

It's so still.

Looks young, though, doesn't it?

I guess that's how they catch...

Looks handsome.

Oh. There he goes.

Alright, the species

that we're looking at today,

the saltwater crocodile,

is probably the most dangerous member

of the crocodilian family.

They're pretty much living dinosaurs,

who have been perfecting

their hunting skills

over 200 million years.

So they can swim underwater

at up to 20 miles an hour

without making a ripple on the surface.

And they can burst out to attack

with incredible speed.

They're also known to watch their prey

and learn their habits.

In fact, you can see this bloke

looking at us now.

So if any of you are camping up here

near a river and you need water...

It's got teeth like your mother.

..make sure you do so

at a different time every day

because the croc will learn your routine.

You might wanna avoid that.

Croc gets a hold of you

and he can't swallow you in one go,

he will literally tear you to pieces.

Super.

- Allen, can you imagine?

- So how big do they grow?

Well, that one there was a little one,

but they can grow

from 20 to 25 feet long,

weigh up to two tonne.

There have been stories of bigger ones,

but the crocs that we're looking at today

are just as dangerous.

Are there many attacks on people?

Tourists, occasionally.

That was in poor taste.

I'll bet.

Don't worry, ma'am.

We're perfectly safe on this boat.

They won't attack anything

bigger than they are.

- How big is this boat?

- Yeah.

- Big enough.

- Sure. Whatever.

Lighten up a little, will you?

Right. The bigger the better,

if you ask me.

Aren't you beautiful, hey?

Do you love me?

Do you love me?

Gimme a kiss. Gimme a kiss.

- Got a Wet One?

- Oh, yeah.

Jesus. Anyone complain

about the flies yet?

That was your one shot.

That wasn't a complaint.

That was a question.

- How long are you out here, anyway?

- Oh, just a few days.

Alice Springs after this, then home.

Where's that?

Chicago.

I'm a travel writer for a magazine.

Sounds like the life.

How about you? You travel a lot?

Never left the Territory.

You're kidding, right?

Why would I wanna leave all this?

It's amazing watching people's faces

the first time they come out here.

You might wanna...take your seat.

Gets a bit hairy around this bend.

Aye, aye, captain.

Sher, did you know this is

the oldest landscape in the world?
