(CNN) - A unique species of crocodile lives in New Guinea, but in 1989, a researcher suspected that there may be more to the story on the tropical island. But the large island north of Australia is divided by a mountain range, creating distinct habitats in the north and south. They attended a talk that raised Hall's research and asked for help to finish the investigation distinguishing between the New Guinea crocodiles.
