Fishing crocodile

East Alligator River, Kakadu National Park

This is a fairly common sight at Cahill's Crossing between Kakadu and Arnhem Land on an incoming tide. As you can see, the water
is incredibly murky with suspended sediment, and the crocodiles here extend their (somewhat pathetic) front limbs to increase the
chances of a collision with a fish, whereupon they snap at it with lightning speed- not always with success.
