The Explainer Series: Crocodiles
Ancient, powerful and often misunderstood, crocodiles are more than just fearsome reptiles — they’re vital to the health of our ecosystems and a critical part of Australia’s natural heritage. In this edition of The Explainer Series, leading biologist Professor Craig Franklin from the University of Queensland takes us inside the world of these remarkable animals. From their physiology and behaviour to their role in balancing river systems and shaping biodiversity, discover what makes crocodiles so special — and why calls for widespread culling ignore the science. This is a chance to rethink the croc, guided by the researcher who knows them best.
Presented by State Library of Queensland.
