Adelaide River's giant showdown: Dominator vs. Brutus - A battle of crocodile titans!

Adelaide River's giant showdown: Dominator vs. Brutus - A battle of crocodile titans!

Australia's saltwater crocodile populations are on the rise, and one of the most densely populated regions in the country is the Adelaide River, located in the Northern Territory where we operate our cruises.

Within this region, resides Dominator, an enormous crocodile measuring over 6 metres in length and weighing over a metric ton. Reputedly the second-largest crocodile ever documented, Dominator dwells in the murky depths of the Adelaide River and never fails to captivate our visitors with its impressive displays.

While this colossal reptile is undoubtedly awe-inspiring, it is not the sole inhabitant of the area. Dominator's rival, Brutus, is slightly smaller but equally formidable.

The competition for dominance between these two creatures is evident in their interactions. They harbour a mutual dislike, often leading to Dominator sneaking up on Brutus and vigorously chomping on his tail, causing Brutus to thrash about desperately in the water, fighting for survival.
