澳洲淡水鱷
鳄科鳄属的一种爬行动物
澳洲淡水鱷（學名：Crocodylus johnstoni）是一種中小型鱷魚，[6]原產於澳洲。牠們的體型比同是住在澳洲、性情較兇猛的灣鱷細小得多。雖然在受威脅之下會襲擊人類，但牠們並沒有強大的咬合力以咬死人類。

編輯澳洲淡水鱷出現在澳洲西部及北部，主要棲身於淡水濕地、河流等。雖然牠們可以忍受海水，但沒有如灣鱷一樣的適應能力。成年的澳洲淡水鱷主要進食鳥類、魚類、兩棲類、爬蟲類及蝙蝠等小動物。

Unfortunately Krefft misspelled the name "johnsoni " in his initial description and his subsequent correction was ignored until 1983 when the nomenclature was reviewed thoroughly by Hal Cogger (Cogger 1983). Although the majority of scientific literature, including all Australian Federal, State and Territory legislation has been using "johnstoni " correctly since then, the uncorrected version is still popular especially in the US on the basis of a later taxonomic review (King and Burke 1989) that ignored Cogger's revision. http://crocodilian.com/cnhc/csp_cjoh.htm （頁面存檔備份，存於互聯網檔案館） Crocodilian Species List, Crocodylus johnstoni (KREFFT, 1873).
