Youse are misleading Little Hawk when you say crocs are just lizards; they're not. Salties are definitely ones to steer clear of and there are signs all over the Top End warning against swimming in their territory. [The signs are so attractive to tourists that they are regularly stolen, which caused the tourist trade to get into making plastic replicas, including stickers that go under the lid of you dunny seat.] Freshies are safer to swim with if you're not small in stature, but it's difficult to be sure there are no salties in the same waterhole.

Monitors (perenties, goannas etc) will always try and run away and climb the nearest tall object. If they're running from something else and you happen to be the nearest tall object you can expect to have a mascot (with claws) looking over your head from on your shoulders.

And if you ever pick up or take hold of an animal, make sure you hold it so that its instinctive release of urine is sprayed away from you.
