Conteúdo: 	Crocodilians face conflicts with humans where they use aquatic environments to seek food, leisure and housing. The Nile crocodile, Crocodylus niloticus LAURENTI, 1768, and the Saltwater crocodile, Crocodylus porosus SCHNEIDER, 1801, are among the species that most frequently attack humans (BOYLE et al. 2009; WEBB et al. 2010), but also other species are killed by local people, who believe that the crocodilians compete with them for food, principally fish. Killing of crocodilians has intensified with habitat loss caused by fishing, sand mining, hydropower, tourism and housing in areas close to rivers and other aquatic environments (FERGUSSON 2010).
This has caused an increase in the likelihood of attacks on humans (WALLACE et al. 2012).
