This is largest living reptile and is native to Southern Asia and Oceania populating a variety of waters from freshwater to brackish. These crocs are opportunistic predators lurking patiently beneath the water's surface  and then ambushing potential prey.  Their diet includes fish, smaller reptiles and amphibians, birds, and even small mammals. Honestly they will feed on anything they can get catch such as buffalo, monkeys and even sharks. These reptiles are direct developing and the mothers exhibit parental care guarding the nest and the young. These crocs are extremely aggressive and are known as the most likely Crocodilian to attack a human. Habitat loss has increased the amount of attacks on humans. I saw this organisms in Northern Australia in a brackish swamp. There were several individuals present with the largest one (most likely a male) appearing to be about 25 ft long. Seeing this organism was a truly remarkable experience as this is one of the most powerful and yet still most graceful organisms on the planet.
