@epaiva and @ruimendes1 Do you know any published DCL/TL ratios for this species? I have to say acutus/intermedius seem relatively 'big-headed' compared to the large old world corocodiles. Reply

@ruimendes1 do you know it’s measurements? I don’t see it that large to belong to such a giant crocodile, it looks like it is 70 cm long or smaller than that size Reply
