Are crocodiles or alligators native to Australia?
Australia has two species of crocodiles: Estuarine, or saltwater crocodiles, and freshwater crocodiles. Both species are restricted to Australia's tropical north. The Estuarine crocodile is found across northern Australia, from near Broome in northwest Western Australia, across the Top End of the Northern Territory, to the Gulf country and Cape York of north Queensland. It can be found along beaches, around offshore islands (including those in Torres Strait and in the Great Barrier Reef), and in tidal estuaries and rivers, but it is not restricted to saltwater habitats. It has also been found in freshwater lagoons, rivers, and swamps hundreds of kilometres inland from the coast. The freshwater crocodile is also restricted to northern Australia, where it is found in inland waterways. Although usually a freshwater-dwelling creature, as it name suggests, it can live in the tidal reaches of some rivers. There are no crocodiles in either the Murray River or the Darling River, despite popular myth; nor are they found as far south as Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast.

Who would win a fight- a croc or T. rex?
No modern crocodile would be able to beat an adult Tyrannosaurus rex in a battle, but it could escape to the water. A large crocodile, however, could kill a very young Tyrannosaurus. Some prehistoric crocodile species, such as Deinosuchus or Sarchosuchus, were far larger than any modern species, growing up to 40 feet long. These didn't live at the same time as Tyrannosaurus, but if an adult of one of these species came across a T-rex, they would have been relatively evenly matched at first. However, if the T-rex survived long enough, the crocodile would have run out of energy and been forced to retreat to the water. There is some fossil evidence that T-rex may have lived in packs, and if this is the case, a pack of T-rex would have had a huge advantage over any Deinosuchus attack.
