00:00 Crocodiles can come vertically out of the water,

00:02 nearly their whole body length if the water's deep enough.

00:06 This is Graham, our gorgeous saltwater crocodile.

00:13 Right now, you can get a good look at him.

00:16 What an absolute dinosaur he truly is.

00:19 Crocodiles were actually related to archaeosaurs.

00:23 They really are like modern-day dinosaurs.

00:25 Now, Graham here has a bit of a history at Australia Zoo.

00:29 About 10 years ago, when I was three years old,

00:32 we had a big flood that came through the zoo.

00:35 My dad and his best mate, Wes,

00:38 were in the crocodile enclosure, in Graham's enclosure,

00:42 and were clearing the debris off of the fence line.

00:45 Graham snuck up behind Wes and grabbed him,

00:48 drilled him into the fence line,

00:50 grabbed his backside and part of his leg.

00:52 So Dad jumped onto Graham,

00:54 wrestled him off of Wes, and Wes could escape the enclosure.

00:59 If it wasn't for Dad in with Wes,

01:02 he probably wouldn't have lived, to tell the tale.

01:05 Saltwater crocodiles are the largest reptile,

01:08 the largest crocodilian on planet Earth.

01:11 They have 64 very long, sharp teeth

01:15 designed for penetrating their prey item.

01:18 These crocodiles actually have a jaw pressure of...

01:21 What is it? It's...

01:22 3000 pounds per square inch.

01:25 They can actually swim almost as fast as dolphins.

01:28 Yeah, it's true. So what they'll do

01:30 is they'll tuck their legs in by their sides

01:33 and they can propel themselves with that big tail.

01:36 Now, keep in mind, crocodiles are gorgeous animals,

01:39 but, Robert, would they make good pets?

01:41 No, I think you can already see that.

01:43 It's true. Just have a look at him.

01:45 You would not want a crocodile in your backyard.

01:47 Graham is a stunning crocodile,

01:50 and we've got even more animals to show you here at Australia Zoo.

01:55 So we'll see you next time.

01:57 And remember to subscribe to the Pet Collective channel.

02:01 You beauty.

02:02 Have a look at that. He's awesome.
