"Killing Crocodiles Using Sticks and Clubs" is plate 88 from the series "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium" (Of Hunting Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish), a collection of engravings that depict various hunting scenes. This particular plate was engraved by Jan Collaert (1566–1628), a Flemish artist known for his work in printmaking. The series was published by Phillipus Gallaeus (Philips Galle) in Amsterdam and is based on designs by the Italian artist Giovanni Stradano, also known as Jan van der Straet (1523–1605).

The "Venationes" series is a significant work of the late Renaissance period, showcasing the fascination with exotic and domestic hunting scenes among European audiences. Stradano, who worked at the Medici court in Florence, was known for his detailed and dynamic compositions, which often included elements of both the natural world and human activity. His collaboration with Collaert and Gallaeus brought these vivid scenes to a wider public through the medium of printmaking.

"Killing Crocodiles Using Sticks and Clubs" captures a moment of intense action, where hunters are depicted in the midst of a dangerous confrontation with crocodiles. The engraving is notable for its detailed representation of the animals and the hunters' tactics, reflecting the European interest in the natural world and its inhabitants, as well as the methods used to capture or kill them. The work is an example of the blend of artistry and ethnographic curiosity that characterized much of the visual culture of the time.

As an artwork, this plate is valued for its historical and artistic significance, providing insight into the cultural and artistic exchanges between Italy and the Low Countries during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It also serves as a testament to the skills of Stradano as a designer and Collaert as an engraver, demonstrating the high level of craftsmanship in printmaking during the Renaissance.
