What country has the biggest crocodiles?
Biggest Reptile in the World The saltwater crocodile, which can be found in the Philippines and other Asian countries, is considered as the world’s largest reptile. Scientifically known as Crocodylus porosus, it is different from Mindoro’s freshwater crocodile (Crocodylus mindorensis), which is a relatively smaller species. An adult saltwater crocodile measures between six to seven meters (20-23 feet) and weighs about two to three tons. There were tales that a 27-foot saltwater crocodile was killed near Lake Taal in Batangas in 1823. It reportedly took 40 men to bring the body ashore. When the men cut the crocodile’s body open, they found the body of a horse in seven pieces. The largest crocodile ever sighted was a 33-footer in Borneo in 1920. It was believed to be 200 years old.
