Saltwater Crocodile waits for you!
The Saltie waits patiently for its prey on this stunning silver proof! In its deadliest attack, called the "death roll," the saltie grabs onto the animal and rolls powerfully. This throws any struggling large animal off balance, making it easier to drag it into the water. The "death roll" is also used for tearing apart large animals once they are dead. The only threats to adult saltwater crocs are other crocodiles and humans.

Of course, the saltwater croc also poses a threat to humans as well. In Australia, attacks are rare and usually make headlines when they do occur. There are, on average, no more than one or two fatal attacks reported per year in the country. The low level of attacks is most likely due to the extensive effort by local wildlife officials to post crocodile "warning" signs at nearly every billabong, river, lake and even at some beaches, and also due to the well-informed nature of the local citizenry.
