Raja Ampat, Indonesia. Saltwater Crocodile

Saltwater crocodile caught on drone West Waigeo, Raja Ampat, Indonesia. Crocodiles are rarely seen in Raja Ampat. We had the luck to see one passing by very close and had the time to send the drone for a closer look.

"Saltwater crocodiles inhabit Raja Ampat, but your chances of encountering one are very low. Saltwater crocodiles are territorial and favour rivers, river estuaries and mangrove habitats, so it’s safest to assume there could be one around when in these environments. Check with your hosts before exploring such areas: Your homestay hosts and guides would never let you enter a known risk area." (Source: Stay Raja Ampat)
