The largest species of reptiles is the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus). These formidable predators can grow to lengths of over 23 feet (7 meters) and weigh more than 2,200 pounds (1,000 kilograms). Saltwater crocodiles are found in various coastal regions and river systems across Southeast Asia, Australia, and the eastern coast of India. They are highly adaptive, living in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Their powerful jaws and stealthy hunting techniques make them top predators in their ecosystems. Due to their size and strength, they pose a danger to other animals, including humans, in their habitats.
