Crocodylus porosus
Largest living reptile. An adult male saltwater crocodile's weight is 600 to 1,000 kilograms (1,300–2,200 lb) and length is normally 4.1 to 5.5 metres (13–18 ft), although mature males can be 6 metres (20 ft) or more and weigh 1,300 kilograms (2,900 lb) or larger.
Saltwater crocodiles generally spend the tropical wet season in freshwater swamps and rivers, moving downstream to estuaries in the dry season, and sometimes traveling far out to sea
I was the first one to spot this crocodile sunning itself while we were leaving Uncle Tan's on the Kinabatangan river. There aren't that many saltwater crocodiles left in SE Asia. We were lucky to see this one.
