Saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) have been severely depleted from their historic range. Today wild saltwater crocodiles only exist in northern Australia, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Palau, southern Sri Lanka, north-eastern India, portions of Indonesia and Malaysia, as well as a few scattered small locations in some portions of Southeast Asia. They are extinct in many areas.

There are three related species - crocodile, alligator and ghariyal. Crocodiles have active lingual (on tongue) glands that can secrete salt - these glands are present also in alligators but aren't active. That's why crocodiles can live in the ocean where alligators can't survive for long (ghariyal is a purely freshwater species with no such gland at all).Though the crocodiles are poor swimmers, the larget living reptile, called the estuarine crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) can ride sea waves and cross the sea to another nearby land area.
