- Crocodile Safari on Proserpine River! Northern Queensland, Australia
This video was shot, edited and narrated all in the same day so I did not have much time for colour correction or to record the VO in a proper sound room. There are a few mistakes that I missed, especially in the narration... can you spot them?

I went on this tour in August 2017. I had never been to Queensland in my entire life and after doing the Proserpine River tour I was blown away. We saw the big boys, 5 m long male crocs with names like "Knucklehead", and "Boofhead", and "Fatguts". They were HUGE!. It was amazing and I'd recommend doing the tour in the dry season as the wet season means they're often in the water.
How much is the tour?

The Proserpine river runs right through the middle of my home town so apart from some glaring mistakes as outlined in early comments, I found this very interesting. I can also testify that no-one in their right mind swims in the Proserpine River, or any other river in northern Australia. To put it bluntly, swimming through a crocodile's dining room is just asking to be eaten. However there will always be complacent fools who think it can't happen to them, hence the clowns seen fishing and netting on the mud here!
"less than 1% of these croc's will die before adulthood" How did that mistake get by?
People are human
Less than 1% of baby crocs will die before reaching adulthood....did i hear that right? That's not right lol
i heard it too haha he meant survive
I had to rewind it twice to make sure. It should be less than 1 percent will make it to adulthood lol 😂
I heard that too, a verbal typo!
Dallas Bank Robber is correct in flagging that remark as an egregious error. What the narrator should have said is that the survival rate for baby crocodilians (all species of crocs, gators, caimans and gharials) is only 1-2%. The narrator's statement about why crocodiles gape (lie in the sun with their mouths open) is another major error. It is generally accepted among herpetologists that they do this to lose excess heat. The other explanations he offered are nonsense, although an angry croc (or gator) will "gape" (open its jaws) at you as a warning if angry.
Really liked the shot of the boat motor- especially glad that the shot lingered there
Before panning to the steering wheel
Absolutely captivating
Go to the northern territory apparently saltwater crocodiles are bigger than in queensland
Even if you wore the toughest chainmail while swimming, a crocodile can still crush you if you don’t drown first lol

Wow the Proserpine River has quite a healthy population of crocs these days, I guess the Fitzroy in Rocky will look like that soon, then the Calliope and then the Burrum and Mary
the term estuarine saltwater crocodile is kinda redundant. If a thing lives in an estuary, it automatically means it can tolerate saltiness of the watery environment.
no wonder crocs are aggressive, they're salty
You think with these species three words "oh my gosh" as they are so so big. Nile crocs aren't far behind them either. The two big guns of the crocodile world.
Magnificent animal
My favorite
Some crazy people fishing with nets.
What is an eserine croc?
*Estuarine* crocodile is a Saltwater crocodile.
Eserine? Never heard of it
Drongo on the riverbank. If a croc takes him that croc is hunted and killed, just because he wants to be an egotistical heroic douchbag. If I were the tour guide I'd be screaming at him to get his stupid arse away from the riverbank.
Less than 1% will die before reaching adulthood? LOL this should be trillions of them. That's one of the mistakes I spotted in the first 30 seconds. Good quality though. Keep up the good work.
also they don't grow to 7 metres, they can grow to 6 but this is very rare
2:15 Less than 1% of these crocs will die before adulthood. lol
I once swam 2 miles of the proserine river..smack bang in the middle.....mind you...i did have a 30 horsepower outboard motor shoved up my arse
These salties can kill tigers
Usman Hameed And vice versa .
Depends on the the animal who gets upper hand.
@@aliakbarmaliki3156 nah, every Croc can fight felines, there is plenty of footage of Nilecrocodiles attacking Cheetas, Leopards and Lions, it just depends on the size of both. Also Nilecrocodiles get on land to steal food from lions sometimes, and the lions can't really do much to the Crocs. The big ones are too heavily armored and too dangerous to fight, even on land.
Big cats can kill them when they are basking in the morning. Crocs have a weak spot that Jaguars have been seen exploiting.
@@thepuzzlebox6620 yeah, big cats can kill small crocs, but big crocs are too dangerous
Our ancestors date back 200 million years to the Triassic as well. Otherwise we would not exist. Just saying
Yes Numpty, but our ancestors were monkeys. Understand?!
I like crocs! They really rock! One time, long ago, I offered one a whiff of my sock, but instead, he bit off my ________ ..
Now, I don't have one no more! HAW! HAW!!!
Reminds me of my ex she was fat and layzy
7 meters hey? lol keep dreaming
True
Lolong was that long wasnt he ?
23 feet? They've not had crocodiles that size?
You keep dreaming
6.16 meters is the official record. So yeah, 7 Meter crocs are nothing but myths, until there is proof. Average size for old males is around 5 meters, but occasionally 5.5 Meter crocs are spotted. Everything above must be extremely rare.
