Saltwater Crocodile

The saltwater crocodile is the largest living reptile in the world, with large males reaching up to 6 metres and exceeding 1,000 kg. Found from the eastern coast of India through Southeast Asia to northern Australia, it is capable of ocean crossings and is the ultimate generalist predator, attacking anything from fish and birds to large mammals and humans. Despite its fearsome reputation, conservation efforts have allowed populations to recover significantly.
