The one I am holding is a lot smaller than the largest one in Museum Collections in Venezuela, this one comes from a specimen 3,65 meters long and the largest one comes from a very big male it measures 68,8 cent long, almost as long as the one of Lolong the largest Saltwater Crocodile captured that measure 70 cent long, Lolong measured  6,17 meters long Reply
