Many attacks in areas outside Australia are believed to go unreported, with one study positing up to 20 to 30 attacks occur every year. [168] This number may be conservative in light of several areas where humans and saltwater crocodiles co-exist in relatively undeveloped, low-economy and rural regions, where attacks are likely to go unreported ...
[19] [20] One study posited the number of attacks by Nile crocodiles per year as 275 to 745, of which 63% are fatal, as opposed to an estimated 30 attacks per year by saltwater crocodiles, of which 50% are fatal.

The countries with the highest share of articles published in scientific journals according to the Nature Index 2024, which is valid for the calendar year 2023. [2] The "count" is the total number of articles to which nationals of the country have contributed.
If we stretch and compare current valuations to the five-year averages for earnings and free cash flow, Crocs has a P/E ratio of 90.2 and a five-year EV/FCF ratio of 84.6.
