    Fun Fact, Steve Irwin’s team put trackers on Crocodiles which led to the discovery of how they migrate over ocean bodies, sometimes surfing waves for hundreds of miles before reaching a new landmass. This was especially fun because salt water crocs aren’t known to be particularly good swimmers but they clearly are great navi-gators because when the tides or winds change they will duck below the waves to stay on their course.

        It is real. Steve Irwin has been making contributions to the study of these animals long after his death. It also helps explain why Salt Water Crocodiles exist on so many continents with little variation.
