    '''Saltwater Crocodiles''' (crocodylus porosus) are very common '''anywhere''' in the Cape York Peninsula and are known as man-eaters. '''Swimming is not advised''' anywhere other than hotel pools. '''Freshwater Crocodiles''' are also present but they are relatively small and harmless to humans, although they can inflict a deep, painful bite if harassed. The '''Box Jellyfish''' occurs in the waters of all of Northern Australia from October to May and can be extremely lethal.
