Hatchlings start off at 25-30 cm whilst the average length of an adult is 4.1 metres to 5.5 metres. The max length of a saltwater crocodile recorded is 10 metres, it is not confirmed if it is true or false.

What is the largest crocodile?

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).

What is the name of the largest saltwater crocodile in the world?

Gomek was the largest Saltwater Crocodile captured by George Craig in Papua New Guinea. He was purchased by Terri and Arthur Jones in 1985 and was kept in Ocala, Florda for five years before being sold to the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park in Florida. For 8 years he wowed spectators with both his amazing nutria-tossing abilities and his even more amazing tolerance of people. Feeders of the large croc were allowed to go into the enclosure and get as close as 1 meter from the large animal (a normally suicidal proximity) without any fear of attack. While feeders still used long tongs to feed Gomek, he was generally considered to be a "tame" crocodile and was the favorite of the Alligator farm and people around the nation.After many years, Gomek died of heart disease on March 6, 1997. By then, he was a very old crocodile, and one of the largest and tamest captive crocodile in existence. When he died, he was 17 feet 8 inches (5.5 m) long, and weighed nearly 2,000 pounds - as confirmed by St. Augustine Alligator Farm - and probably between 80 and 90 years old. There is a tribute to Gomek in St. Augustine.The largest saltwater crocodiles in the world are everywhere. There were many giants over 20 feet long, but now there are only about 5 if that. Back then there was a crocodile in India that was nearly 23 feet long. Then there was a crocodile skin in papua new guinea that was measured to be just over 20 feet long.

Is there a crocodile in saltwater?

The saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) can be found in the ocean but the species spends the vast majority of it's time in the tidal river systems, which are influenced heavily by saltwater. But they can also be found very far inland (up to 250 km or more) in purely freshwater ecosystems. The hatch-lings require freshwater to survive, so these are not "true" marine species. In addition, the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) of Mexico, Central America, South America, the Caribbean and the tip of Florida is just as tolerant of saltwater as the saltwater crocodile and is also found at sea on occasion (hence it's distribution throughout the Caribbean on Jamaica, Cuba and Hispaniola.) This has led people to mistakenly refer to this species as the much more aggressive "saltwater crocodile"(Crocodylus porosus) of Asia, Australia and parts of the South Pacific. It is important to note that many crocodile species (NOT alligators & caiman) display some level of saltwater tolerance. The Nile crocodile may occasionally swim out to sea and is common in many coastal estuaries in Africa.

20.3 feet caught in a fishing net off the north east coast of australia. Records of 28+ft Saltwater Crocodiles do exist ageing back some 20 - 30 years or so; whether they are genuine or not is another matter.

Kris' husband Ron was a recognised crocodile expert and measured the body. Sightings of giants like this persist in remote parts of Asia and Australia. The African Nile crocodile is said to approach these sizes as well. One mammoth individual in Burundi is over 23 feet long.It is very well possible that it was 28 feet long, but the largest in the world currently is a 23 footer in the Bhitarkanika National Park in the Orissa state of India.It was a 27 ft crocodile (8.24 m), and weighed around 4000 lb. There is a crocodile living on a creek at a beach in Cedar Bay North Queensland Australia that locals estimate is 9 metres long. Its a solitary old male and very agressive. When standing its stomach height on a 180 cm human. Rumour has it that the late great Steve Irwin knew of two crocodiles well over 9 metres 'somewhere in Northern Australia' but would never reveal where to prevent trophy hunters ever finding them.Saltwater croccodile is the largest, strongest reptiles on earth. Its lenght growes to about two small cars.

How many saltwater crocodiles can kill a rhinoceros?

Possibly three. Saltwater crocodiles would have difficulties with rhinos since a rhino has tough skin and heavy weight advantage. A saltwater crocodile sometimes would kill and eat young rhinos, but would not kill an adult rhino. A rhino on the rut is far more dangerous than an attacking saltwater crocodile, and could even kill a bull elephant.
