Salties vs Cane Toads… and the salties are winning! 🐊🥳

Cane toads have been an ecological disaster since they were introduced to Queensland in 1935, poisoning native predators across the country. Freshwater crocodiles in particular have been hit hard, with some populations declining by over 70%.

But it turns out their bigger, saltier cousins might be made of tougher stuff 😤

Our friend and fellow croc tour guide in Far North Queensland has been photographing juvenile saltwater crocodiles on the Daintree River eating cane toads with zero ill effects, and his observations have now been published in the journal Australian Zoologist. Five separate cases of young salties chowing down on toads and living to tell the tale, with David able to identify the same individual crocs afterwards by their scale patterns to confirm they’d survived.

Australia’s leading cane toad expert Professor Rick Shine put it best: “I think we’re discovering there are a lot more native species out there that are capable of dealing with toads than we originally thought.”

Nature really does find a way 🙏

There are many myths about crocodiles. Our Friend David at Solar Whisper Daintree River Crocodiles is help to dispel some of these. Crocodiles are not mammals and don’t think the same way we do or even think they do. They follow different thought processes entirely.

"Our tour guide was perfect (apologies I am terrible with names). A great balance of information and humour. A really great experience being so up close and personal with some incredible animals (I come from South West WA so I am very familiar with Great White Sharks but this was next level). I felt safe, despite being stared down by Wokeye and it felt like I was being stalked by him following the boat as we drove away, but at no point did I feel I was in danger. It was incredible to be exposed to these animals in their territory. I have some incredible photos and videos that I will cherish to re live these moments. As an Australian I try my best to support local, learn and immerse myself in Country where I can and the information on the Arirrki Aboriginal Corporation and Groot Eylandt at the pavilion was great.
A massive thank you to the team!"
