What is the largest crocodile?

Answer 1

The saltwater crocodile (crocodylus prosus) is the largest specie of all the crocodiles and the largest reptile in the world.

The saltwater crocodile is not only the largest reptile and crocodile in the world is also the most powerful of all the reptiles in the world.

An adult male saltwater crocodile's weight is 600 to 1,000 kilograms (1,300-2,200 lb) and length is normally 4.1 to 5.5 metres (13-18 ft), although mature males can Be 6 metres (20 ft) or more(there's records that full grown males reach 25 feet And over that) and weigh 1,300 kilograms (2,900 lb) or larger.

It is possible that 7-metre (23 ft) crocodiles are alive today

Guinness has accepted a claim of a 7-metre (23 ft) male saltwater crocodile living Within Bhitarkanika Park in the state of Orissa, India,although,due to the difficulty Of trapping and measuring a very large live crocodile, the accuracy of these Dimensions has yet to be verified.

A crocodile shot in Queensland in 1957 was reported to be 8.5 metres (28 ft) long, But no verified measurements were made and no remains of this crocodile exist. A "Replica" of this crocodile has been made as a tourist attraction.

Many other unconfirmed reports of 8+ metres (28+ ft) crocodiles have been made But these are highly unlikely.

The largest size saltwater crocodiles can reach is the subject of considerable controversy. The longest crocodile ever measured snout-to-tail and verified was the skin of a dead crocodile, which was 6.1 metres (20 ft) long. As skins tend to shrink slightly after removal from the carcass, this crocodile's living length was estimated at 6.3 metres (21 ft), and it probably weighed well over 1,200 kilograms (2,600 lb).

A saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) named 'Lolong' was captured in the Agusan Marsh of the Philippine island of Mindanao on September 3rd, 2011. Lolong is 20.25 feet (6.17 meters) in length. This is the largest VERIFIED length for a crocodile ever. Larger lengths have been reported and exist in literature, but these are unverified and highly suspect.
