A large, 14.5-foot crocodile referred to as Scarface has been filmed enjoyable in a creek in Australia.
The saltwater crocodile was filmed within the Daintree River in Queensland by the Solar Whisper Daintree River Crocodile and Wildlife Cruises.
“He’s called Scarface as he’s a gangster and he has many scars on his face,” David White, who owns the corporate, informed Newsweek. “He’s the boss croc of the Daintree river and I have been watching him for more than 20 years. He’s an A-lister as he’s a celebrity and the paparazzi—that’s me—are crazy about him.”
The Days of Daintree is a fictional cleaning soap opera White’s firm tasks onto the wildlife they assist vacationers to see on river cruises. “Our Wildlife are the celebrities,” White stated. “I try to find gossip on the A-listers’ break ups, make ups, fashion or food.

Saltwater crocodiles reside alongside the coasts and water techniques of northern and japanese Australia and are recognized to eat giant prey together with fish, birds, cows, buffalo and boar. They can develop as much as 20-feet in size and weigh over 2,200 kilos. They derive their identify from inhabiting coastal saltwater areas, however they are often discovered over 120 miles inland in freshwater creeks and rivers.
White stated that giant crocodiles like Scarface are solely harmful to people if security recommendation is ignored: “How dangerous are they? Well, they are wild animals, predators, so [it] depends on your behavior, if you swim with them or make a poor choice, they are lethal—we are on the menu. However, if you don’t swim then they ignore the boats and it’s not dangerous at all.”
White stated Scarface was one of many dominant saltwater crocodiles within the Daintree river system, however he faces competitors from different male crocodiles: “He thinks all the offspring are his, but of course he can’t be everywhere at once and some of his ‘girlfriends’ make other boys very welcome. In DNA studies they have found that a female nest may have up to three different fathers, but we don’t tell Scarface this.”
The authorities of Queensland advises folks within the northern coastal areas of the state—referred to as “croc country”—to remain not less than 16 toes from the water’s edge to reduce dangers.
Other security recommendation contains avoiding water at daybreak and nightfall and nighttime when crocodiles are extra energetic, and never feeding the animals.
