A NT Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman said the crocodile management team pulled a 3.5m croc out of Berry Creek and a 3.7m croc out at Woods inlet on the weekend.

“It’s a timely reminder that we live in croc country and to always be crocwise,” she said.

It comes after a massive 4.5m, 500kg croc was caught in the Darwin Harbour in March.

Ranger Tom Nichols said have also found croc nests in unusual areas, including one near Durack and one near the old dump.

The NT croc management team have captured 144 saltwater crocodiles in the Top End so far this year.
