Saltwater Crocodile

The saltwater crocodile is one of the heaviest animals in the world. It is also the world's largest reptile, reaching lengths of more than 23 feet (6.5 meters). The Nile crocodile receives the most attention for being a purposeful hunter of humans, although the saltwater crocodile is larger. It can weigh up to 1.45 tons, compared to 1.2 tons for the Nile crocodile, and the 1.2-ton croc was an exception. The saltwater crocodile, like the Nile crocodile, will catch and eat whatever it can get its hands on. Emus, monkeys, bats, and birds caught from the sky, goats, deer, orangutans, kangaroos, water buffalos, and humans are among the victims.

It is unaffected by poison toads such as cane toads, and one individual is thought to have eaten a porcupine. The saltwater crocodile has been known to devour sharks because it dwells in salt or brackish water off the coasts of Southeast Asia and Oceania.
