Nature at work: Crocodile snacks on turtle in Cape York river- Local Cairns News | cairns.com.au

Fascinating photos of a saltwater crocodile eating a sea turtle in Cape York. We've seen plenty of evidence of crocodiles stalking nesting turtles on coastal islands and other nesting beaches before, but it's great to see it in action.

CrocLog Podcast - Episode 5

After a slightly longer than anticipated interval, the fifth episode of the CrocLog podcast is now available. To make up for it, this is the longest episode yet. By 6 minutes. Ok, that's not a great incentive, but the real reason you should listen is because it's a great episode and there's a special croc-related offer hidden in there somewhere.

I'm joined again by Brandon Sideleau, a wildlife photographer based in California, for a discussion of the latest crocodile news and television shows. There's a great interview with John Brueggen, the Director of the St Augustine Alligator Farm in Florida, plus the usual mix of crocodile news, science and TV show discussion.

Here's a list of links to those stories available online that we discuss in the podcast:
