The answer to this question is yes. In fact, many believe that good ol’ Salty is the animal most likely to consume a human… yep, even more likely than the famed Great White Shark. Considering the list of prey items on the Saltwater Crocodile’s menu, I would say they should be the most feared animal on the planet. This gigantic reptile will eat anything it can get its jaws on including kangaroos, monkeys, wild boars, dingos, water buffalo, humans and even sharks. I told you they should be feared.<\/p>\n

Even worse is the method of attack these crocs choose to utilize. If something tasty is hanging out on the shorelines of their home, this giant crocodile will completely explode from the water, grab the unsuspecting and confused prey and bring them into their watery grave.

Definitely not he most pleasant way to go, which is why I think the Saltwater Crocodile should be one of the most feared animals on the planet.<\/p>\n
