  2. Would this be a Saltwater crocodile?

    Note: you may notice that we keep bugging you about species names. It's an important thing on this site. If you know the species, you can identify it yourself using the "identify species" button to the right of the photo.

The saltwater crocodile is the largest of all living reptiles, as well as the largest riparian predator in the world. Males of this species can reach sizes up to at least 6.30 m and possibly up to 7.0 m in length. However, an adult male saltwater crocodile rarely reaches or exceeds a size of 6 m weighing 1,000 to 1,200 kg.
