I'm not sure there is anywhere that keeps accurate records of crocodile attacks on humans. The obstacles to doing so are just too great, with most areas they inhabit being fairly remote and / or impoverished. The natives don't often report such matters to the authorities. It is, however, presumed that in areas in which they can be found, crocs are the number one killer of humans, at least as far as larger wildlife goes. Insects still beat everything else hands down, or more accurately, the diseases transmitted by insects.

Peter Capstick had some interesting advice for anyone who may be unfortunate enough to witness a croc snatch a colleague. Just finish your cigarette, or cup of coffee, or whatever - there isn't a damn thing you can do for him. This from a guy who made his living for decades as a profesional hunter on two different - and croc infested - continents.
