What is the longest crocodile?

The "Longest" Crocodile Is NOT The Saltwater Crocodile. Saltwater Crocodiles Are The Largest Crocodile By Weight. Gharials Are The Longest Crocodiles. From Very Long And Slender Snout To Long Tail. The Gharial Has Been Recorded Been Up To 7 Metres. The Gharial Was Shot On January 1924. The 2nd Longest Crocodile Is The Saltwater Crocodile. The 3rd Is The Nile Crocodile. Despite The Length Of The Gharial. Gharials Are Very Slim And Lightweight. Not Weighing Much And Mainly Eats Fish. It Very Occasionally Eats Birds, Other Reptiles, Mammals And Amphibians. Gharials Are Very Timid And Are Not Considered Man Eaters. Gharials Are Found In Nothern India. They Have No Predators Except Humans. Mugger Crocs, Salties, Tigers, Leopards, Bull Sharks And Other Gharials Eat Young Gharials. Young Gharials Might Also Be Eaten By Bears. Gharials Are My Favourite Croc. And Salties Suck A Little Bit.
