Someone from Australia, help me understand:
How widespread are saltwater crocodiles on the Australian continent? Are they limited to certain areas? If so, why do people engage in recreational activities in those areas, given how notoriously vicious, aggressive, and lethal they are? Are there many fatal attacks every year?
I live in southern Louisiana, so I'm very familiar with alligators. They are typically not interested in anything larger than a medium-sized dog, and they pretty much ignore humans and are not a threat to adults. The biggest problem down here is when they start sunning themselves on the greens of golf courses, or take up residence in a community pond which has no natural food source (say goodbye to Muffin and Fluffy).
