91% of Queensland crocodiles remain within 50km of hatching site, challenging previous assumptions; genetic study reveals six main populations within 12 bioregions.
91% of Queensland crocodiles stay within 50km of their hatching site, challenging previous assumptions about their far-ranging behaviour. A genetic study led by the Department of Environment and Science and CSIRO found that Queensland's crocodile population can be divided into six main populations living within 12 distinct bioregions. The study will help inform future crocodile management strategies.
