What is the largest species of crocodile?

The largest species of crocodile is the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), also known as the estuarine crocodile, Indo-Pacific crocodile, or sea-going crocodile. These crocodiles can grow up to 23 feet (7 meters) in length and weigh as much as 2,200 pounds (1,000 kilograms). Saltwater crocodiles are found throughout Southeast Asia and northern Australia and are known for their aggressive behavior and ability to adapt to a variety of habitats, including rivers, estuaries, and coastal areas.

Due to their large size and aggressive behavior, saltwater crocodiles are considered one of the most dangerous predators in the world. They have been known to attack and kill humans who venture too close to their territory, and are responsible for numerous attacks on both humans and domestic animals each year.
