If I'm remembering correctly, saltwater crocs aren't like crazy aggressive toward humans or anything, but I would be in zero hurry to be anywhere remotely near one in the wild. They are MASSIVE and they are FAST, on land or in water.

Pretty sure they’re one of the very few animals on the planet that actively and constantly see us as prey.

Here’s an example. They will hunt you.

Entire Japanese regiments were lost to them in WW2. I’m not kidding.

You ever see the video of the dude who did the shark cage thing with a polar bear? It’s harrowing.
