# Crocodiles in Queensland

The Queensland environment department publishes the crocodile sightings the public reported to it through CrocWatch, and the results of its own crocodile distribution surveys. The sightings tables give each report with its location, the crocodile's size and behaviour, and what the department decided about it. The survey table lists each crocodile seen on surveys of rivers from 2000 to 2012.

The sightings come in three files whose columns differ: 2010 to 2015, 2016, and January to March 2017. Each is its own table here.
