To the great excitement of the tourists, a sizable crocodile leaped out of the river and pounced on a bat in the air. The low-flying bat was quickly grabbed by the crocodile and devoured with its razor-sharp fangs. The bats dipped their chests in the river, then clung to trees and drank moisture off their plumage.

In her pursuit of the bat, the alligator Dusty Rose was “unbelievably precise”. She received praise for her bounding quickness, agility, and pinpoint accuracy. She had to figure out exactly where to place herself in this big river and typically, ʜᴜɴᴛed on the edge and jumped with incredible precision.

In his 25 years of working on the river, Mr. Wʜɪᴛe claimed he had never seen a crocodile catch a bat. He has spoken with numerous scientists over the years, and he concurred with them that this river was way too large for crocs to successfully trap a bat, but he was wrong.

In Far North Queensland, where there are over 30,000 crocodiles, about 70 adults are thought to live in the Daintree River. Due to its ᴄʟᴏsᴇness to the Cairns Airport and the area’s well-known alligator fishing boats, the place is a well-known natural tourist destination.

The river is located in Queensland’s Wet Tropics, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, around 100 kilometers from Cairns. It is abundant in vegetation and fauna. Only professional tour organizations are permitted to look for the scary beasts, and there are rigorous rules for viewing the territorial reptiles.
