On top: Lower size range; 55 kg jaguar (50 cm shoulder height) vs Orinoco crocodile (4.1 meters, 380 kg) In the middle: 
Higher size range; 95 kg jaguar (70 cm shoulder height) vs Orinoco crocodile (5.2 meters, 635 kg) On the bottom: Record sized 148 kg jaguar (80 cm shoulder height) vs record Orinoco crocodile (6.8 meters, likely about 1.5-1.8 tons based on other large crocodiles).
Going by this chart, I very very comfortably favor the croc even on land.

That size of the crocodile is very exagerated in all these images. If we going to scale the crocodile we can't just "warp" it to the length needed, but we need to keep proportions. Even the smaller of the crocodiles in your image already have a skull of about 1 meter long!!!

My suggestion, investigate about real sizes of skulls and total lengths, scale your animal based in that and then you will get a good estimation of the size.

That was the best Orinoco croc I found. It was scaled using the 20 cm cubes on your image.
Maybe the photo was taken from an angle or it's a very big headed croc? Reply
