Darwin: welcome to the "crocs" country !
Landing in Darwin, at the very north end of Australia, it is finding oneself plunged in the “Crocodile Dundee” movie universe. With a size of six meters long for a weight of one ton, the sea crocodile (crocodylus porosus) is indisputably one of the most dangerous animals in the world. This saurian has been exterminated in most of the countries. In contrary, in the Top End, the “salties”, as they are affectionately called here, make part of the natural patrimony. They are protected and have even become stars ! Welcome to the “crocs” country ! ©Jean Robert
