There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Fair enough. But you see that in a case of geometric progression, the result would still be roughly the same as it would be from the formula I suggested.
For example, the approximately 6 metre crocodile weighed 1000kg so a 5 metre one will be 500kg, a 4 metre one will be 250 and a 3 metre one would be 125kg according to your formula.
So your formula also gives roughly the same result as my formula. I also estimated 123kg at 3 metres, didn’t I? So both you and I are correct here.
And you mentioned Machli killing more crocodiles, do you have any photos available of those?
