Occurred on March 4, 2025 / Lower Daintree River, Far North Queensland, Australia

Info from Licensor: "The mother crocodile's name is Scuter. She lives on the Daintree river in Far north Queensland. The national park rangers sometimes do crocodile surveys and the caught Scuter when she was only 3 years old and they measured, weighed, and probed her. The told us she was a boy but they got it wrong. They marked the crocodile by cutting off 4 of the scutes on the tail. Pretty brutal so that's why we call her Scuter. So for 19 years, I was calling her a boy ,but in 2021 she had some babies. She's a bit of a mystery girl because our girls usually have babies at 15 years of age. She had her first at 22. Maybe a bit confused about being called a male most of her life or maybe a career woman. She had two subsequent nests which failed due to flooding and then a successful nest this year. Crocodiles are very maternal and guard their babies and on a high tide when there is no bank they climb onto mum to get some sun."
