As humans are viewed as another food source, if crocodiles see them walking along the waters edge or swimming in their territory, they may also become prey. It is important to note that many crocodile attacks occur when people do not take heed of crocodile warning signs put in place, or do not take these warning signs seriously.

Feeding Behaviour

According to Webb and Manolis (1989:69) in Australian Crocodiles, "the feeding behaviour of Saltwater Crocodiles appears fairly typical of all crocodilians - a mixture of active hunting and a more passive 'sit and wait' strategy".

Hunting Behaviour of Juvenile Saltwater Crocodiles

The most common feeding strategy of juvenile crocodiles is to wait for potential prey (such as shrimps and prawns), to come within striking distance of their jaws. The crococodiles sense the movement of the prey with sensory pits located along the sides of their jaws.
