The Australian krokodil is the largest krokodil in the world.It can grow up to seven metres long and the biggest can weigh up to 1000 kilos.It has only 2 muscles to open its mouth but 40 to close it!

What makes crocodiles so dangerous is that they attack incredibly quickly and they take their victims under the water to drown them.They usually attack in the water,but they can suddenly come out of a river and attack Tiere oder people,and they can run on land at 17km/h.

Every Jahr in Australia there are krokodil attacks on humans.2 years Vor a 24-year-old German tourist died when she went for a swim in a lake.Although there were signs warning people that there might be crocodiles,the girl and her Friends decided to have a midnight swim.The girl suddenly disappeared and Weiter morning her body was found.Near it was a four-metre crocodile.And only last Monat 2 Australian boys watched in horror as their friend was killed Von a krokodil when they were washing their moutain bikes in a river.They climbed a baum and stayed there for 22 hours while the krokodil waited below.
