Largest reptile in the world: Saltwater crocodile

The saltwater crocodile is the largest reptile on Earth. A male ‘saltie’ can grow up to 7 metres in length and weigh up to 1,000kg. You’ll find the saltwater crocodile in the wild in eastern India, Southeast Asia, and northern Australia. They have the second-most powerful bite in the world, behind the Nile crocodile, at 3,700psi. Unfortunately for us, these massive reptiles are also one of the most dangerous animals in the world and kill up to 1,000 humans a year.
