Are their crocodiles in Fiji waters?
The short answer is- NO. No resident crocodile populations exist within Fiji. The nearest resident crocodile populations exist within the Santa Cruz Islands of the far eastern Solomon Islands. The species may or may not persist within northern Vanuatu (which lies to the west of Fiji)....surveys are needed there to confirm extinction. Fiji certainly has plenty of suitable crocodile habitat (i.e. extensive mangrove swamps) but it is unknown if Fiji ever held a population of saltwater crocodiles (if it did, it would have been a very long time ago, as no records exist.) That being said, itinerant saltwater crocodiles have been documented popping up in Fiji on rare occasions (every few decades or so.) The species is a long-distance traveler and individuals will sometimes venture thousands of miles from their native range.
