Big Gecko - Freshwater crocodile movement

One of the most spectacular examples of crocodile movement, filmed by John Downer Productions for the programme "Weird Nature". The crocodiles were directed by Adam Britton from Big Gecko (http://crocodilian.com/big-gecko ). Crocodiles can move in several ways on land, and Australian freshwater crocodiles (Crocodylus johnstoni) exhibit one of the most spectacular forms of locomotion - galloping. This video shows crocodiles crawling, high-walking and galloping. This sequence used with permission, and copyright remains with the owner.

I doubt it said that. Several croc species gallop, although freshies are probably the best known example (and one of the best at it).
