Saltwater crocodiles use ocean currents to travel long distances. In Australia, 20 crocodiles were tagged with satellite transmitters; 8 of them ventured out into open ocean, and one of them traveled 590km (370mi) along the coast in 25 days from the North Kennedy River on the eastern coast of Far North Queensland, around Cape York Peninsula, to the west coast in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Another individual swam 411km (255mi) in 20 days. Without having to move around much, sometimes simply by floating, the current-riding behaviour allows for the conservation of energy. They interrupted their movements and resided in sheltered bays for a few days until the current changed direction. Sometimes, they also swam up and down river systems. [101]Enaiat 's mother left him in Pakistan so he could have a better life. She was doing what she thought was best for him so had to be strong and brave. She gave him advice before she left, which shows she was wise, caring and practical. The Larrakia people think of themselves as crocodile descendants, and regard it as their totem. [189] They respect crocodiles as protectors of harbours and do not eat crocodile meat. [190] In Athens, Enaiat found work, but when the job was complete he couldn't find more work. He decided to go to Italy to find a boy from his village, called Payam . He hid in a storage container on a boat to get there. Molnar, R. E. (1979).
