Port Douglas Crocodiles FNQ 

Really, I thought that was too high up for them?

😎 👔🤳 🤝 👞👞

Me too🥰

One of my friends did say to me after she watched my video that she got scared and she wasn't sure if it was from the music that I coupled it with or? Sorry to give you anxiety, I have a fear of spiders, you just cant trust them little suckers and all those eyes lol :)

@@MelissaHalliday even I hv the arachnophobia.

Small spiders are fine but big ones are ❌

@@ScaryAppul-114 ewww...in India you will find them everywhere...Oh! How much I despise them..

It's not the music ... I get anxiety... If I watch any croc video... I feel what u mentioned... I m scared of crocs ... Ever since I saw them feeding... And I get nightmares to... Even while taking a shower... When I close my eyes..... I could see a large hungry croc...

@Rob Bishop if you saw Nile crocs then you should report where you saw them to either the police or animal control or something. Nile crocs could kill off the gator population since they’re much more aggressive. Plus, they could potentially go after people more often than alligators.

They should ALL be hunted to extinction - what good do they do? Make shoes out of em

Alligators in Florida, very different

@@Hi-re8mt probably that guys are American crocs, not Nile ones.

@@Hi-re8mt it has been confirmed that their are (or were) nile crocs in florida, several have been trapped by FWC, but I dont think since then there have been any sightings or trappings of them since. the ones they got I think they identified as siblings, so not a large population by any means. they also confirmed that they were not related to any nile crocs in captivity in florida, so they know they didnt escape, likely some miscreant let them loose....

Pretty rude on my part 😂

Thank you and yes I think the music suited the situation :) Thanks again

Do people go missing in this river?

Awesome

@@jonsid1545 It's the Mowbray River. Elderly lady was taken there just a few weeks after this video was filmed (google "Anne Cameron").

Swamp Fox thanks Swamp Fox he was a big fella I have a phantom 4 if you wanted to see if you could get a size on him 👍🏼🙌🏻🇦🇺

SammyBabeey1 morning Sammy yes that is what I always say be croc smart in Croc country and really look at your environment to see if there are any kind of dangers. Lucky you’s were all okay thanks for the comment ✌🏻✌🏻🇦🇺

There's yellow warning signs of crocs everywhere up there, It's always a good idea to google what the dangers are where ever your going to 👍

That is how people get ate . Not knowing nothing

I grew up in Cairns and I always swim up here! You just have to be aware and never swim like early morning/ evenings and just be sensible about it! I love the ocean 🌊

✅✅✅ 🤣🤣🤣

I was there two weeks ago and saw him on this very bridge in the same spot

Two of them

No you didn't

@@jamesc4995 uh huh ...we did.

I'm from port lad 37 years....

@@jamesc4995 ... Port Douglas 54 years mate, all of my life

AL Jean DILA There is no way you could have made it to shore...those big ass brass balls would have taken you down. 😁😁. I can promise you if I was thrown over , the only way I’d go, I would learn to fly on the way down, never hitting the water.

lol yes I would want a lot of money to build the bridge. :) Thanks and I am glad you like Mo the big croc.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xeeSgkj5kF4.html Costa Rican have same question:) haha

Thank you Marianne :)

Rod Ashford I knew their names I didn’t realise they were the ones poor buggers thank you for letting me know mate

Melissa Halliday no worries, it is a shame but one of them did take a human life, probably Mo but they found remains in both so the law says both are guilty. 😭

You liar..this is my croc

Zack Kazz ????

The croc name is mujibuuuu

Smithfield State High School TNLA you sure can just give credit thanks 🙌🏻👍🏼❤️

VIP1JZ cool are you on holidays or local?

Woody Leng yes we love it up here ❤️ thanks for the comment ✌🏻 have a great evening mate

Yep was there a month ago to visit one my best mate who move ther a few years ago... slow pace also the conversation haha.

Woody Leng lol 😂 we are very relaxed up here ✌🏻😂😂

Its quite a bit closer to the Equator than Florida but it looks very similar.

I'm in south florida and we have 🐊 here as well.

Hey Troy is the Mowbray bridge on the way up to Port Douglas. They just finished a predestion bridge to walk across in April this year. Yer a very common sight of the big boys and girls sun baking on the mud flats. I grew up in Cairns and have often seen them around. 🙌🏻👍🏻

Shortmanaut thank you 👍🏻

They feed on cattle and wild pigs as a general rule - this river system has farms backing on to it further up!

Nope, on average crocs feed once a month

@@jordanmahony4268 That doesn't contradict or add to what I typed....

Thanks KralSaid this was shot with my DJI Phantom4 :)

Thank you, it is a DJI Phantom 4 and I have had it for about 5 years! It didn’t take too long to learn and I love it! Have not flown in so long but will get back into it again soon. Thanks again 🙌🏻

There sure are more than we can see. Being winter they come out more to catch the sun 🐊🐊❤️ Enjoy your trip up mate

We always do. We camp out for up to 6 weeks in the bush. Boat (12ft) generator and fridge freezer. Easy to spot at night with the red eyes in the water infront of you. Smallest I almost caught was 1.5m and the biggest ive seen was close to 6m off Hinchinbrook

mrdilligaf1968 that's awesome

Love your film footage !!!! Can't say a lot on here but have studied them for some years. Cautious with any wild croc but not afraid. The more you learn, the safer you are with them. I've never once felt threatened by them. Big long stick and a milk crate just in case.

Try and film more if you can !!!!!!

Horacio del Bosque nope and I wouldn’t want it too ✌🏻

belle I have seen them, a bit out of my budget at the moment 🙈

@@MelissaHalliday haha that wont last long with cros infested watgers

Shafiq Affandi you shouldn’t go close to the crocs because you shouldn’t put yourself in unnecessary danger and they are dangerous, that is why we don’t go close to them ✌🏻

Melissa Halliday what I mean is the drone not you..hehe, I think you can fly the drone more closer to the crocs, its will be more interesting..or you worry the crocs catch the drone? Hihihi

Oh bahaha sorry I was pretty close but I suppose I could have been closer but didn’t risk it 😂 thank you the next one I see on land I will try and get closer and see how we go 🤭✌🏻

Melissa Halliday haha just be carefull ok, safety first..👍👍

He sure was 🙌🏻

@@MelissaHalliday Is this the one eyed salty they call "Buster"? We were in Port Douglas/Daintree in 2008 and remember seeing a big crock from a tour boat and the skipper said he was called Buster because he had a habit of busting open crab pots and stealing the contents.

@@kw8757 Hey I believe they called this one MO, :)

@@MelissaHalliday Hi, thanks, I realised when I read further down the comments. Shame they're no longer around.

They say crocs can live for 70+ years so I would not even know to guess this ones age? :)

@@MelissaHalliday they actually could live to 100 years old.

Mo was a big boy :)

Do you know the size of him?

Finn finn he's the dominant male in that part of the river, he's even bigger now.

John O'Shan whhoooooossshh

It sure is :)

@@MelissaHalliday I was there yesterday and went under the bridge. After 30 mins, two crocs came to the bank and me and my friend both managed to take pictures of the big fella sunbaking

@abhishek, Mo was culled early this year as there was an incident, but there are so many big crocs in the Mowbray, they are amazing to see. :)

@@MelissaHalliday I have to tell you this thing, while we were packing, my friends drone (in a bag) rolled over into water. My mate decided to go into water to bring it back. It made me cringe. He stepped in water and slipped, fortunately he came back to land safely. I got upset from this behavior of his, as crocs were only 30 metres away from us. I said to him that his mother who is in Brisbane would eat me alive if something happened to him haha. Ps : I did advice him to let go of drone, and can share mine as true friend would do

Where is mowbray river I can't find it on the maps?

2 mill and a Lambo don't mean shit to a dead person

John Darwen prob a big lunch 😂😂😂

It`s got gas ;-)

Haha Thanks Judy but this is a Salt Water Crocodile up in FNQ Australia xx

Melissa Halliday these are salt water crocodiles

Yes they are :) Is this the first time you have seen Salt Water Crocodiles? Thanks for watching.

Crocs are in salt water as opposed to gators who live in fresh water.

Judy Arzt Judy a lot of Salt Water Crocs actually live in fresh water they live in both but they like to hang out in fresh water because their prey come to fresh water to drink ❤️🇦🇺🙌🏻

Zack Kazz alive when this was taken

Yes....... the crocodiles is dead....... that is why it is not moving........ as everyone knows, if an animal doesn't move for even a short period it is dead.........

These two were euthanised after the big male took an elderly lady from the beach.. Remains were found in both crocodiles!

They are both alive, I saw them today!

Your assumption is correct 😁🙌🏻

That’s what she said 😂😂

@@MelissaHalliday ouch there goes my pride 🥺

@@redrocket9861 sorry bud I just had to 😂 have a good night mate..
