Saltwater Crocodile - Data, Pictures and Videos

@ruimendes1 Post #96 of this thread shows you the skeleton displayed in Bhitarkanika museum. It is one of the largest preserved skeletons of a crocodile ever measuring 19ft 8in. The male itself would have easily surpassed 6 metres. My reckoning would be close to 6.5 metres making it as a clear “monster”.
Bhitarkanika even today houses some of the largest salties. Conservation seems to be more important than measuring and releasing them as it can be a threatening process for everyone involved.  *This image is copyright of its original author Quote:The largest skull in Australia by this photo seems has 67.8 cm not 68.8 cm?  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Quote:The giant crocodile was killed in Bintulu, Sarawak, Borneo in 2007. It was 5.8 meters long. The skull is now preserved in the Similan National Park. It is the largest crocodile ever recorded in Malaysia, second only to the famous Bujang Senang.  *This image is copyright of its original author Quote:The only 3 specimens of giant crocodiles longer than 6 meters scientifically proven  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Quote:The correct size of Old Charlie is 6.20 m making it the second largest specimen ever recorded to date and it can also be seen from the photo that it has a taller and more robust body than Lolong making it probably heavier, the photos in the documents below is evidence of this as they were published by the hunters who killed it and the Ranger who mediated it and by Dr. Adam Britton?  *This image is copyright of its original author Quote:Quote:Don Kalia estimative size?  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Quote:These are the best photos I've found so far of the supposed giant crocodile known as the Dominator in Australia's Adelaide River (05-12-2024, 03:27 AM)ruimendes1 Wrote: Official record but somehow the length is way off. My calculations put it at more like 5 m using the woman as a guide in the top image. The bottom image is of no relevance for size estimations as skins despite opinions can be stretched.

It's a bloated saltwater with people sitting way back using forced perspective to make it look bigger. Hope that info helps. (05-23-2024, 09:55 PM)ruimendes1 This skull does look huge. To confirm 74 cm dcl you need to get a better image with the tape proving the length. It would be equal 3 rd biggest after Bujang Senang 77 cm , Paris skull 76 cm and equal with St Petersburg Skull 74 cm!! Possibly came from a 6.6 m giant?!
