Australian Wildlife Photography - Saltwater crocodile.

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemians, I recently moved up to rural Victoria as some of you may know and I've decided to start taking some photos of our natural wildlife. While I am by no means a professional photographer with decent equipment hopefully between me and my new phone we can score some decent pictures :)

I decided to start off with the saltwater crocodile, Billy.
Australia is known for being filled with deadly animals, our snakes,spiders and various other wildlife are notoriously dangerous. You are in fact relatively safe here, unless you do something stupid like go swimming in crocodile infested waters or poke a snake with a stick you should be pretty right.

I thought today I would showcase our Saltwater crocodile Billy. At 140 kg and 3 metres long he's finally starting to look like the ultimate killing machine he is. He spends mos of his days hanging out in his pool and lounging on his hill in the sun, when the colder months hit he has an undercover heated pool and space under the decking where he will spend most of his time sleeping.

Without further ado here is young Billy( He's only like 9 and lives to 150)

Unfortunately my camera phones quality doesnt seem to translate very well to the PC. I'm hoping to get a decent camera soon though so hopefully can get some better shots :)

For now I hope you liked the pictures of one of the worlds most superior killing machines.

Your photos are fine :) Billy is a decent sized lad O_O and awesome looking XD I really love that last shot, can easily project a look of smug satisfaction onto that face XD

Yeh I've said the same thing (and also don't poke fingers or get up right up close to holes to look into them) to an online friend who has made some noises about wanting to visit Australia but being a bit nervous seeing as the entire country could potentially kill you. So of course I went and sent him this comic:


This one is from here but I don't know if it's the original or if it's not where the original came from)

and they bailed XD

hahaha i like that comic thats great ;d

Crocodiles are awesome. I like to go see them here in florida too. I might find a pic of me sitting next to one.

You're awful brave to sit next to one haha

It was at the everglades in florida. They just chill in the sun there and barely move. People just walk by them there. Nobody sits next to them though lol

Crocodile are awesome but I can't swim with them lol whose ready to die
