Wildlife Satellite Tracking

Tracking an Estuarine Crocodile in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia

On July 13, 2005, a 4.2m male Crocodylus porosus was captured in the Adelaide River, 100km east of Darwin.  A satellite transmitter was attached to it in an attempt to better understand any movement patterns it may exhibit.  The crocodile was affectionately named "Sputnik".

This website contains maps of the latest location data as well as the raw data, background information, transmitter details, the capture and attachment method and a few photos.  Follow the links for this information.
