Saltwater crocodiles are the largest of all modern reptiles, ruling as the apex predators of the saltwater marshes where they live. They are among the most aggressive of all crocodiles, and anyone who unwittingly stumbles into their territory is immediately viewed as prey.
Reaching lengths of over 15 feet and weighing well over 1,000 pounds, these monstrous reptiles are the largest of all modern crocodilians. They are the bane of any creature that must drink from or attempt to cross the rivers where they make their home.
Unlike alligators, crocodiles cannot tolerate colder climates and are regulated to the waterways of tropical and desert environments; though unlike alligators, they can tolerate living in saltwater rivers and marshes.
