Crocodylus porosus
Largest of all living reptiles. One of the six crocodilian species considered dangerous to humans.
Estuarine 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.
This photo is that of a juvenile, about 1.5 meters long and was basking in the sun when our boat passed by. Managed to get a few shots from a distant before it entered the river and submerged when we approached it.
