There are warning signs in the region and everyone who sees crocodiles is asked to report to DES immediately. According to DES Senior Wildlife Officer Jane Burns, the crocodile can be injured, which can make its behavior unpredictable. “Crocodiles usually use to travel the ocean, and our hope is that it continues to move into a more secluded area, Bur said Burs. “However, based on the s provided us, this crocodile seems to be in a bad state and can be injured or comfortable change his behavior and movements.” “It is really important that anyone who sees a crocodile in the region informs us quickly, so we can respond as quickly as possible.” Croc was seen near Airlie Beach's popular tourist warm point. Salt water Crocs can grow up to 6 meters and attacks are usually fatal. Salt water crocodiles can grow up to a tremendous 6 meters and live up to 70 years.
