The Saltwater Crocodile

Meet the Saltwater Crocodile, also known as 'salty,' the world's largest living reptile species! These green-brown giants can grow up to be around 23 feet long and weigh over 2200 pounds - that's around the weight of a small car! Living in the salty waters of Southeast Asia and Australia, these versatile swimmers have special glands in their mouths to remove salt, allowing them to live in saltwater habitats, just like a floating fortress with loads of sharp, conical teeth!
