Where do saltwater crocodiles live?
Quick Answer
Saltwater crocodiles live across northern Australia and parts of Southeast Asia. They are found in coastal areas, estuaries, and rivers from India to the western Pacific.
The Full Story
Saltwater crocodiles have the widest range of any living crocodilian, stretching from eastern India and Southeast Asia to northern Australia and nearby island regions. They live in rivers, estuaries, mangroves, and coastal waters, and they can travel long distances through the sea. In Australia, they are especially common in the Northern Territory and parts of northern Queensland and Western Australia. Their huge range reflects their ability to tolerate saltwater and move between river systems.
