Living Alongside Crocodilians

Everything in this book reduces to a single, learnable discipline, and it is worth gathering it into one place before you close the cover.

Crocodilians are ancient, magnificent, and genuinely dangerous. They hunt by ambush, they hide in almost no water at all, and you will not see them coming. After heavy rain, high water carries them across the whole landscape, into creeks and ditches and low ground that were dry a month before, so that no familiar swimming hole can be trusted from one season to the next. Anywhere in gator or crocodile country, no one can promise you that a body of natural water is empty, because it never reliably is.
