亚约克角半岛的鳄鱼
在澳大利亚约克角半岛的谢尔本湾，一条长达七英尺(五米)凶猛残暴的咸水鳄对着相机张开了血盆大口。这种爬行动物是生活在地球上的鳄鱼中最大的一种，在澳大利亚它们被称为“咸咸(salties)”,是该地区最危险的食肉动物。它们会在毫无征兆的情况下，突然用其强有力的尾巴击打水面，然后将猎物–如水牛，猴子，鲨鱼等–拖入水底。
Seventeen feet (five meters) of brute reptilian force, a saltwater crocodile snaps at the camera in Shelburne Bay, Cape York Peninsula, Australia. Earth’s largest living crocodilians, “salties,” as they’re affectionately known in Australia, are among the area’s most dangerous predators. Without warning, they explode from the water with a thrash of their powerful tails and drag their victim-water buffalo, monkey, shark-under water. |
