Even the largest and scariest of animals were once a cute little baby (except birds which definitely get cuter with age). This adorable baby crocodile is contently sunning itself in a river in Cairns, located in far north Queensland. As cute as this little guy may be, where there is a baby, there must be a mummy and a daddy. Cairns is home to saltwater crocodiles, currently the largest living reptiles, and the much larger and more aggressive cousin of the freshwater crocs. It made me very glad that I was in a boat on this river and not in a small canoe!

oh my goodness that is adorable. It looks so harmless, but I believe you that mum and dad weren’t far away. Crazy to think of how aggressive and large they will become.

Cute now and huge later… the males are often 880 – 2200 lb (400 – 1000 kg) but have been recorded as big as 3000 lb (1360 kg)!

Hahaha. I am glad you were in a boat too, Laura. It’s really cute now, but time has a way of taking away that innocence.

Absolutely, although even at that small they are well and truly trained hunters…its just easier for us to forget that!
