Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus): The largest living reptile, reaching over 20 feet and 2,000 pounds, the saltwater crocodile dominates coastal regions from India to Australia. Extremely aggressive and opportunistic, it ambushes prey—including humans—with a death roll to drown victims. Its powerful jaws and stealth make it a top predator. Attacks are often fatal due to massive trauma and blood loss. Unlike other crocodiles, it thrives in both salt and freshwater, increasing human encounters. Conservation efforts have boosted populations, leading to more conflicts. Despite its danger, it plays a key role in maintaining ecosystem balance and holds cultural significance in indigenous communities.
