Crocodile attacks on people are common in places where crocodiles are native. The Saltwater and Nile Crocodiles are responsible for more attacks and more deaths than any other wild predator that attacks humans for food. Each year, hundreds of deadly attacks are attributed to the Nile Crocodile within sub-Saharan Africa. The island of New Guinea also reports numerous attacks attributed to the Saltwater Crocodile every year and is probably the only country within the species range where attacks are relatively frequent, as the population of this species is very low within the vast majority of its Asian range. Attacks in places like Australia (which contains the highest population of Saltwater Crocodiles) are comparatively rare, with usually only 1 or 2 fatalities recorded per year. This is because Australians, unlike Africans and the people of New Guinea, do not rely as directly on the rivers and other waterways within the region for survival. In Africa the most common victims appear to be fishermen (who use small boats and regularly enter the water) and children who play in or near the water's edge.
