This is not a quoll. Obviously. It is a saltwater crocodile called Simmo. Fortunately, he is asleep.

Crocodiles are the closest thing Australia has to bears. When Americans express any sort of terror at our native wildlife, I like to remind them that there are no wild bears in Australia. (Drop bears, being marsupials, don’t count as bears.)

Saltwater crocodiles are the closest thing Australia has to bears.

This is not a quoll because it’s Goanna Week. This is an estuarine crocodile.

If the crocodile wants Goanna Week to end one day early because someone didn’t photograph a turtle sitting on top of a Mertens water monitor, then who’s going to argue?

The water monitor was the next enclosure over. Close enough.
