Even though crocodiles are typically found further north of Maryborough, there have been reported sightings of these massive creatures in Maryborough and two confirmed captures. Crocodiles, or saltwater crocs, are the specific species of crocodile found throughout some of Queensland.
They reach incredible sizes (up to 5 metres in length telegram data and over 454kg and can be even larger in some cases) and are pretty dangerous.
Crocs have powerful jaws and tend to lurk in rivers and estuaries. This is because they aren’t completely aquatic creatures and require access to land for food sources.
This is why it is important to always be alert when out in nature in Australia. While certain dangerous wildlife is exclusive to certain areas, they can venture outside of their regular territories.
Maryborough is a prime example of crocs being found well outside of their normal surroundings.
