00:00 I got him.
00:02 Get him, get him!
00:05 It's OK.
00:07 Come on!
00:08 It's always a great adventure to catch a crocodile.
00:11 It's a bit like a rodeo for hunters.
00:14 He looks like a player. He can jump, don't stay in front of him.
00:18 He can bite with a force of 5000 newtons.
00:25 It's a dangerous animal.
00:27 There are no "need to talk to a biologist"
00:30 either you're good or you're a person of the mind.
00:32 If he starts to turn on himself, we're going to let it go.
00:35 We start getting him to his hands and he's going to stay on the way.
00:38 It's still a dangerous animal to do because he'll have teeth sticking out everywhere.
00:42 They have very sharp, thin teeth.
00:45 We got teeth sticking out everywhere.
00:47 Watch him, he's going to slice at us.
00:49 If you're going to get them, it's going to be a laceration, not a decapitation.
00:56 I'm going to check.
00:58 As they get bigger, the skull gets wider.
01:00 This one is going to attack big prey.
01:03 Reptile, bird, pig or even bigger prey.
01:07 We're going to try and work him out.
01:09 Got it.
01:10 Let's go.
01:11 OK, let's go forward.
01:13 As soon as you take your pressure off a bit, he lets go.
01:17 Yeah, it's fine.
01:18 Always keep the pressure on, even when you move them.
01:20 It calms them.
01:22 This is a new one.
01:24 Magnificent.
01:26 It's pretty unusual to find a beast this large that has never been captured.
01:29 We're going to measure it.
01:31 When you get an animal, you know exactly where it came from, what year it is.
01:35 Sometimes you know where it's gone to, what it did.
01:39 If she shows up in the keels, you'll know where it is, or at least where she was the last time.
01:44 260.7
01:46 We're going to weigh it now.
01:48 67 kilos.
01:50 It is a female.
01:53 That's what I thought.
01:55 We'll give her the number.

02:00 Little by little, Mark builds a database that will allow, he hopes,
02:04 to identify most of the crocodiles that colonize his waters.
02:07 Including the young ones that are found outside the park,
02:11 expelled by the dominant males.
02:13 The more animals you get, the more competition you get.
02:18 And you get exclusives, mostly going to be the young ones.
02:22 These are the young pariahs that you find near the cities.
02:25 Those are surrounded by a vast urban area, very populated,
02:30 with a lot of tourists who don't know what's going on here.
02:33 Go!
02:35 There you go. Well done.
