Crocodile hunting. Egypt, 1870s. Photographer: Henri Bechard Henri Bashar opened a studio in Cairo and sold tourists photographs with views of ancient Egyptian structures. From the 1st millennium BC to the 4th century AD (Roman period), the ancient Egyptians mummified millions of animals, most of the mummies were classified by Egyptologists as ‘votive sacrifices’ to gods and goddesses. Before the construction of the Aswan Dam, Nile crocodiles were found throughout the Nile. Moreover, in ancient times crocodiles were found in Israel, Lebanon and Syria. The ancient Egyptians hunted crocodiles for their mummies, scientists have come to this conclusion. The crocodile, from which the ancient Egyptians made one of the mummies, was not grown in special conditions at the temple. Scientists from France and the United States came to this conclusion after studying the remains using an elementary particle accelerator, the Journal of Archaeological Sciences writes.

How many crocodile teeth? What is special about crocodile teeth? How strong is a crocodile bite? The teeth of the crocodiles order are remarkable (and they are placed in a reinforced skull with the most powerful biting muscles). Do crocodiles lose their teeth with age? Extant crocodiles are polyphiodonts, that is, their teeth are continually replaced during a large part of their life. Firstly, each tooth is renewed in 1-2 years (their teeth are hollow inside, and brand-new and sharp teeth develop in these cavities as they wear out). Secondly, unlike most reptiles, crocodiles have a peculiar differentiation of teeth in size, shape, and even function. At the beginning of each jaw, there are four large canine teeth that serve to effectively capture prey. In the middle of the jaw, the teeth are thicker, increase in length more evenly and form a kind of scissor bite that allows you to cut the fillets of the deceased corpse of the captured victim. At the base of the jaw, the teeth expa

In the Lake Kariba region, the crocodile hunting season runs annually from April 1 to November 30 . This timeframe was chosen due to favorable weather conditions and lower water levels, which make it easier to locate and track animals. The regulation of hunting dates is managed by the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (PWMA) . While official dates are generally fixed, they can be adjusted based on ecological assessments or legislative changes. For example, a proposal in 2020 to extend the hunting period was rejected due to increased poaching activity. Climate plays a major role in determining these timeframes.

When it rains, it pours: Bangladesh wildlife trade booms during monsoon The illegal wildlife trade in Bangladesh increases during the wet season due to a shortage of livelihoods and poor surveillance, a study has found. Killing and trading wildlife has been illegal in Bangladesh since 2012, but a culture of hunting means the problem still persists, wildlife officials say. Wildlife markets trade in animals and parts from species such as tigers and crocodiles, with the more lucrative end of the trade thriving in areas with a weak law enforcement presence and close proximity to a seaport or airport. Efforts to tackle the trade are limited by law enforcement restrictions, with the Wildlife Crime Control Unit (WCCU) lacking the authority to arrest suspects and reliant on local agencies for investigations and legal action. DHAKA — It’s the monsoon season in Bangladesh, where the annual rains are both a boon for farmers and a worry for many living in flood-prone areas. For the country’s wild

Cambodia’s wildlife diversity is at critically low levels due to deforestation and habitat destruction. It is home to about 16 globally endangered species and 2 critically endangered species. Some larger mammal species found here are dholes, elephants, deer, panthers, bears, tigers, cormorants, cranes, crocodile, and wild water buffalo. Many organizations are working together to try and protect Cambodia’s remaining wildlife diversity. Wildlife is mostly isolated to pockets where intact habitat still remains, including the dry forest along the Lower Mekong, the Elephant Mountains, and the Cardamom Mountains. For wildlife enthusiasts traveling to Cambodia for a short time, one of the most iconic places to spot wildlife in Cambodia is in the

Top End Hunting NT: Adventure and Strategy in Tropical North. Licensing Requirements and Bag Limits, Laws and Legislation The Northern Territory (NT) of Australia presents a unique hunting destination that combines challenging wilderness with an abundance of wildlife. Covering approximately 1.35 million square kilometers, this vast region offers diverse landscapes ranging from tropical rainforests and savannah woodlands to rugged escarpments and floodplains. The climate features distinct wet and dry seasons, creating ideal conditions for various game species. Geographical and Natural Features of Australia's Northern Territory From a hunting perspective, the NT's geography provides exceptional opportunities. The Top End's extensive river systems, including the famous Katherine, Daly, and Victoria rivers, create natural corridors for wildlife movement. These waterways support rich ecosystems where hunters can pursue their quarry. The southern desert regions offer different challenges with their arid environment and specialized wildlife adaptations. According to recent statistics from the Northern Territory Government, there are approximately 6,000 registered hunters in the NT, with numbers steadily increasing by about 5% annually. This demographic includes both local residents and visiting hunters from other Australian states and international destinations. Notably, the hunter population shows a significant male majority (about 85%), with ages predominantly between 25-54 years old. Local hunting practices reflect the territory's frontier spirit and self-reliance culture. Hunters typically use 4WD vehicles to access remote areas, often camping for extended periods. The vast distances and challenging terrain require careful preparation and experience. Many hunters employ traditional stalking methods combined with modern equipment, creating a unique blend of old and new techniques. The NT offers several distinct hunting types, each targeting specific game animals: Big Game Hunting: The most sought-after species include: Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis): Estimated population exceeds 150,000 Feral Pigs (Sus scrofa): Population around 1 million Wild Boar: Particularly abundant in coastal regions Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus): Strictly regulated trophy hunting available Small Game Hunting: Various duck species Geese Scrub fowl Quail Pigeons Deer Species: Rusa Deer (Cervus timorensis) Sambar Deer (Rusa unicolor) The hunting season structure in the NT accommodates both resident and visiting hunters: General Big Game Season: March 1 to October 31 Optimal for buffalo, pigs, and deer Waterfowl Season: March 1 to June 30 September 1 to December 10 Crocodile Trophy Season: January 1 to December 31 Limited permits issued annually Several notable hunting organizations operate in the NT: Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SSAA) NT Branch Membership: Over 5,000 active members Offers regular training sessions and organized hunts Coordinates conservation efforts Northern Territory Field & Game Association Focuses on waterfowl and small game hunting Maintains numerous hunting reserves Conducts annual junior hunter programs Professional Hunters Association of the NT Represents commercial operators Sets industry standards Works closely with government agencies The NT's hunting regulations emphasize sustainable practices and conservation: Licensing Requirements: Mandatory Hunter Education Course for new hunters Annual license fees range from $50-$200 depending on residency status Special permits required for crocodile and deer hunting Firearm Regulations: Semi-automatic rifles limited to five rounds Shotguns must be pump-action or break-action Strict transport and storage requirements Interesting facts about NT hunting: The NT holds the world record for the largest wild-caught Barramundi fish, caught during a combined fishing-hunting expedition in 1999. Several Hollywood films have featured NT hunting scenes, including "Australia" (2008) which showcased authentic buffalo hunting sequences. The NT's professional hunting guides are considered among the best in the world, with many having over 30 years of experience in the field. The territory's hunting tourism industry generates over AUD 15 million annually, with international hunters primarily coming from the USA and Europe. For serious hunters seeking adventure in pristine wilderness, the Northern Territory offers unparalleled opportunities. The combination of abundant game, challenging conditions, and rich hunting heritage creates an experience unlike any other in Australia. However, success requires thorough preparation, respect for local regulations, and understanding of the unique environmental conditions.

Gulf Country QLD Hunting: Seasons and Strategies for a Successful hunt, Demographics, Legislation System, Associations and Clubs, Laws  
Hunting in Australia’s Gulf Count

Gulf Country QLD Hunting: Seasons and Strategies for a Successful hunt, Demographics, Legislation System, Associations and Clubs, Laws Hunting in Australia’s Gulf Country: A Wild Frontier for Modern and Traditional Pursuits Nestled in northern Australia, the Gulf Country—a vast expanse spanning Queensland and the Northern Territory—offers hunters a rugged, untamed landscape teeming with game. Known for its dramatic wetlands, sprawling savannahs, and rich biodiversity, this region has long attracted both Indigenous hunters and modern sportsmen. Below, we delve into the essentials of hunting in this remote paradise, from its unique ecology to its tightly regulated seasons and deep-rooted traditions. 1. Geographical & Natural Features: A Hunter’s Playground The Gulf Country spans over 186,000 square miles, characterized by seasonal floodplains, mangrove-lined estuaries, and ancient sandstone escarpments. The Gulf of Carpentaria dominates the northern edge, while rivers like the Flinders, Norman, and Gilbert carve through the terrain, creating vital habitats for wildlife. During the wet season (November–April), monsoonal rains transform the landscape into a lush oasis, attracting migratory birds and waterfowl. The dry season (May–October) exposes mudflats and concentrates game around permanent water sources, ideal for hunting. Key ecosystems include the wetlands of the Nicholson River floodplain and the savannah woodlands of the Barkly Tableland. These environments support diverse species, from feral buffalo to agile wallabies, while saltwater crocodiles lurk in coastal rivers. 2. Hunter Demographics: A Blend of Tradition and Recreation Exact hunter numbers in the Gulf Country are elusive, but Queensland’s 2022 survey estimates 12,000 licensed hunters in the state’s northern regions, with many venturing into the Gulf. The demographic is mixed: Indigenous communities rely on subsistence hunting, while urban sportsmen from cities like Cairns or Darwin seek trophy opportunities. Notably, feral pig hunting has surged in popularity, with over 300,000 pigs culled annually in Queensland alone—a testament to both sport and pest control efforts. 3. Hunting Characteristics: Challenges and Rewards Hunting here demands resilience. The remote terrain requires 4WD vehicles, GPS navigation, and survival skills. Temperatures soar above 40°C in the dry season, while the wet season brings flooded roads and mosquitoes. However, the payoff is immense: vast, uncrowded territories and the thrill of tracking large game like buffalo through open plains or stalking ducks in wetland blinds. 4. Types of Hunting & Game Species The Gulf Country offers diverse pursuits: Big Game : Australian buffalo (the region’s iconic species), feral pigs, and sambar deer. Bird Hunting : Magpie geese, ducks, and the elusive bustard. Crocodile Safaris : Limited trophy hunting for saltwater crocodiles (strict permits required). Small Game : Agile wallabies and euros (hill kangaroos). Methods vary from rifle and bow hunting to spotlighting for nocturnal pigs. Helicopter-assisted buffalo culls are also permitted under special licenses. 5. Hunting Seasons: Timing Your Adventure Seasons align with animal behavior and conservation needs: Buffalo & Pigs : Year-round, though best in the dry season (May–October) when animals gather at waterholes. Ducks & Geese : Late February to June (wet season), synchronized with migratory patterns. Crocodiles : Restricted to a brief annual cull (permits issued by NT Parks and Wildlife). Always check state-specific regulations, as bag limits and weapon restrictions apply. 6. Clubs & Organizations: Community and Conservation Key groups include: Queensland Game and Wildlife Management Association (QGWMA) : Advocates for ethical hunting and offers safety training. Northern Territory Field Sports Association (NTFSA) : Provides hunting leases and pest control programs. Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation (ILSC) : Supports Aboriginal land management, including traditional hunting practices. Local outfitters like Gulf Country Safaris and Top End Hunting Adventures offer guided trips, crucial for navigating the region’s complexities. 7. Legislation: Strict Rules for Sustainability Both Queensland and the NT enforce rigorous laws: Licenses : Mandatory for all hunters (e.g., QLD’s $100+ annual fee). Bag Limits : Example: 10 ducks/day in QLD; buffalo tags cost $1,000+ and are limited. Protected Species : No hunting of dingoes, koalas, or non-target crocodiles. Firearms : Must comply with state registries; bow hunting requires certification. Penalties for violations include hefty fines and license revocation. 8. Traditions: Ancient and Modern Indigenous Australians have hunted here for 65,000+ years, using spears and fire-stick farming to manage the land. Today, many communities still practice subsistence hunting, guided by ancestral knowledge. Modern hunters, meanwhile, participate in guided safaris or compete in events like the annual Normanton Buffalo Shoot , blending sport with pest control. 9. Fascinating Facts Buffalo History : Introduced in the 1800s, Gulf Country buffalo now number over 150,000. Their meat is exported globally. Crocodile Comeback : After being hunted to near extinction, saltwater crocs now thrive here, with populations exceeding 100,000. Pest Control Heroes : Hunters cull over 1 million feral pigs annually in Australia, preventing $100M+ in agricultural damage. The Gulf Country is a hunter’s frontier, where traditions meet modern adventure. Whether pursuing buffalo across sun-scorched plains or stalking geese in misty wetlands, hunters here engage with one of Earth’s last wild places. Respect for the law, the land, and its heritage ensures this legacy endures. #Hunting #GulfCountry #QLD #FeralPigs #GameHunting #BuffaloHunt #BirdHunting #CrocodileSafari #Wetlands #Savannah #TraditionalHunting #ModernHunters #HunterDemographics #HuntingSeasons #WildlifeManagement #Conservation

Krokodille (lat. Crocodilia) is'n orde van sekondêre waterdiere van die reptielklas uit die Eusuchia-klade, wat op sy beurt, saam met baie tussentydse klades, tot die crurotarza of pseudosuchia-klade behoort. Van die lewende organismes is die naaste familielede van krokodille voëls, afstammelinge van die sustertak van archosourusse. Alhoewel die woord "krokodil" die meeste korrek is om verteenwoordigers van die familie van regte krokodille aan te dui, word hierdie term oor die algemeen gebruik om enige verteenwoordigers van die orde aan te dui, wat ook die alligator (alligators en caimans) en gavialovye-families insluit, sowel as sommige van sy basale verteenwoordigers. Dikwels word" krokodille " enige krokodilomorfe (Crocodylomorpha) genoem, wat'n fout is teen die agtergrond van die moderne taksonomie van hierdie groep reptiele. In die huidige volume van hierdie stelselmatige groep het krokodille die eerste keer 83,5 miljoen jaar gelede in die Laat Krietperiode verskyn. Die moderne or
