While people and crocodiles usually avoid each other, the potential for conflict arises in multiple ways: people providing feeding opportunities to crocodiles; the predatory nature of these animals; people’s circumstances and choices; and very often, ignorance about crocodiles or carelessness around them. No doubt crocodile attacks can be tragic; however, sensationalist media reporting, which only compounds the trauma and loathing, has resulted in the poor public image of salties and likely played a significant role in the loss of social acceptance for the species.

Shouldn't have looked so eatable if you didn't want to be eaten.

crocodile populations were critically reduced through unregulated hunting in the late 19th and early to mid-20th centuries mainly for the leather industry; human populations subsequently expanded into areas previously occupied by crocodiles; legally-protected crocodile populations began to stabilise, then grow; as crocodile numbers increased, local people began seeing crocodiles more frequently; and, crocodile populations and sizes of crocodiles continued to increase and naturally expand into areas now occupied by people. The problem is, perhaps, that a generation or two of people are no longer accustomed to living with crocodiles. Humans are unforgiving creatures: once we are habituated to an area and lifestyle, any threat to that is not tolerated. This is the situation that many crocodile populations now face around the world. Addressing this conflict is a critical part of developing our management plans for crocodiles.

Noo why won't you accept being preyed on you worthless human

It is also important to consider crocodile attacks as being random, independent events. That is, any particular incident can’t explain or be explained by the previous or next incidents. They are not predictable in this sense. The clumping of incidents does not necessarily indicate a worsening problem

Lmao

This is not to suggest that people should present themselves as willing crocodile prey, not in the least; only that we assume responsibility for our actions and safety when we choose to enter the crocodile’s domain. This worldview is neither new nor unprecedented. Take, for instance, what recreational beach users adopted in the case of sharks: surfers in Australia can sign up to the ‘Fin for a Fin’ initiative to end the vengeful killing of sharks in the event that they are attacked, while also finding ways to avoid such incidents.

I appreciate it.
