Procodylus Porosus (Crocodylus Porosus) named Kassius is considered the largest detachment from now the detachment representative. 
Cassius was recognized as the largest crocodile in captivity in 2013 (5.48 m). Weigh the record holder about a ton (998 kg). He was caught in 2011 in Australia. At the moment, the animal is about 100 years old. His full name is Cassius glue. He was named after the famous Boxer Mohammed Ali (nee Cassius Marsellus Glue). 
The title of the biggest crocodile Cassius received after the death of the previous record holder - the crocodile Lolong, which reached 6.17 meters long. Lolong also treated the type of Crocodylus Porosus. Its representatives can live more than 100 years, grow up to 7 meters and weigh more tons.
The biggest among ever living crocodiles consider Sarcosuchus Imperator. The individuals of this species lived in Africa 110 million years ago. The recent fossil remains were found in the Sahara desert. Scientists suggest that for 50-60 years, crocodiles managed to grow to 11-12 meters in length and gain up to 8 tons of weight.
The biggest crocodile in the world, today, is a ridden crocodile. Male may grow up to seven meters long and weigh one ton. Unlike males, females of the largest view of crocodiles, not so large.
They weigh all up to halftone, and grow a maximum of up to three meters. And, interestingly, these giants can now find quite often during walks in Indonesia, Australia and on the islands of New Guinea.
Growing crocodiles in freshwater reservoirs are inhabited, here they prefer to multiply. However, Reptille feels quite comfortable in salted water. Therefore, sometimes the largest crocodile in the world can even displace sharks from coastal waters. It is worth noting that young individuals who, from the usual place, in turn, have crowded adults, are worth noting that in salt-water water. The males of the crocked crocodile periodically climb the fights for the territory.
The name of the crocodile "Groom" is quite simply explained. Reptiles have two ridges that are located in the eye area. Well, the color of the animal changes with age. For example, the young individual it is light yellow, and on the surface there are spots and dark hairs. Older coniferous color is darker. And the belly is distinguished by a light shade, more often white or yellow.
Strong and ruthless
Eats the biggest crocodile in the world prefers small fish, reptiles, birds, as well as large reptiles. But these are young individuals. Adults consume a completely different food. Their menu includes large crabs, turtles, woins and snakes. Often, motley crocodiles are hunting for large cattle, in particular, antelope, buffaloes, wild pigs. And the guard of his reptile victims at dusk, when the crocodile is not visible. Food lunk at the aqua, when she does not even suspect anything. The victim instantly falls into vice, the power of the jaws in the crocodile is so big that the bones of livestock are immediately crushed. After the capture, the beast immediately turns out to be water and does not have the ability to resist.The biggest crocodile in the world ate 50 people
Attack reptiles and people. Every year quite a few cases are recorded. And the fault of the man's negligence. The crocodile attacks the shallow water, where, as a rule, a relaxing rest swims. However, there are both attacks on land, though they are quite rare. And, according to experts, usually cases of attack are provoked by aggression from people.
Maternal instinct
Female males get in the 16th age, females - much earlier, in 12 years. Proprietary crocodiles are multiplied in autumn and winter. The female puts up about 50 eggs into a pit and buried it. Inside such a nest, the young are located together with mud and leaves that are maintained in the pit a comfortable temperature. After three months, crocodiles appear on the light. The female, usually, is close to the young and carefully follow their development, as soon as the milf hears the voices of the children, it begins to break the pit and help the offspring to hatch. However, females are sometimes not too vigilant and eggs become prey of predatory animals. Anyway, until sexual maturity usually lives only one percent of the offspring, because young individuals are eaten as other predators.Most valuable
The skin of grinding crocodiles is incredibly valued on the market. Therefore, in the last 70 years, their number has decreased significantly. In some countries, reptiles are completely destroyed. A large number of crocodiles can be found in Australia. There is no less than one hundred thousand individuals.Philippine recordsman
Some time ago in the Philippines caught a huge crocodile. Its length was 6.4 meters, and the mass is more than a ton. According to local residents, in front of the find, they began to notice the permanent loss of livestock. Next, people began to disappear. After some time, it turned out that the crocodile was to blame for everything, which dwells in local regions. The animal managed to catch, however, in detail the process of capture people did not tell anyone. However, there was not able to find out whether the crocodile was caught - cannon. Since there are many predators in the Philippines to enjoy human meat. By the way, the captured record was decided not to kill. He was sent to the local zoo to attract tourists.Sarkozu
And at the beginning of the Cretaceous period on the planet, the crocodile Sarkozuh lived. He dwell in Africa, and eats on fish and herbivore dinosaurs. It was not known for a long time about Sarkozuch, but in the mid-20th century, the Paleontologist from France Albert Felix de Papparer discovered his teeth in Sahara and the armor shields of this animal, later another researcher at once found six skeletons of ancient Sarkozuk. Therefore, it was possible to find out that this crocodile was most likely the largest of all crocodiles that lived on Earth. The length of the body of Sarkozukh was 12 meters with a mass of more than 8 tons. Now the parts of the predator body are stored in one of the Paris museums.The largest alligator
But the biggest alligator who managed to catch, rose to 5.8 meters long. Its weight was more than one ton. Found him on the island march in the state of Louisiana in America. It is noteworthy that near the record holder there were still quite a lot of large individuals, but still, smaller sizes.Immediately it is worth noting that it is not difficult to distinguish the crocodile from the alligator. The crocodile muzzle is more elongated, besides this, a large tooth on the upper jaw is visible. In the family of alligators there are only two types. American and Chinese. They live, respectively, only in the United States or China. And the last is now on the verge of extinction. American alligators can be found in a number of regions of the country, in the Florida alone more than a million individuals. By the way, alligators are bred specifically, for the sake of obtaining meat and valuable skin.
At first glance, alligators may seem slow. But this is far from that. At short distances, the reptile can develop the striking speed - up to 45 kilometers per hour. So the person does not escape from the predator at all desire. Young individuals feed insects, snails, small fish, crustaceans. Adult alligators eat birds, turtles, large fish and, sometimes, Padal. Can attack adult animals. But the predators are afraid to attack. However, for the sake of protection, they cross over fears.

It is easy to distinguish the crocodile from the alligator - crocodiles have a more elongated jaw and you can look good to the upper front tooth.
This dangerous even for a person a predator can reach impressive sizes. Today, the largest crocodile in the world is a ridden (ridge). It is named so because of two characteristic crests on the nose of the reptile rendered from the eyes to the middle of the upper jaw. Such crocodiles live on a fairly large area - they can be found in the eastern coasts of Africa and India and the Far East, in most states of South Asia and the coast of Japan. Their habitat is also stretched from South Asia to Northern Australia.
Individuals who are rightfully considered by the record holders due to their sizes, in recent decades there were several in the world.
Cannoded Gustav from Burundi
Of these, the largest crocodile named Gustav was shot dead in 1987. At the request of local residents in the Republic of Burundi, where he suggested the local population on horror. There were rumors about the murder of this reptile about 300 people, and the locals rumored that the crocodile hunts people, but does not eat them.
Crocodile Gustav
This crocodile has achieved 6.1 meters long and weighed more than a ton. Scientists suggest that in the habitat of Gustava you can meet other, larger crocodiles, but the exact information is only about the existence of Gustav, which was considered the largest.
Long-liver Cassius Glue
To date, Cassius Glue lives in Australia - the oldest crocodile, which is recognized as the largest crocodile living in salted water. In 2013, Australians celebrated the 110th anniversary of the animal.
Crocodile Cassius Glue
The name of the reptile was in honor of the famous boxer (Cassius glue is his real name). Catchius length - 5.48m, weight - 1000 kg. It appeared in 2011 on the pages of the Guinness Records as the largest crocodile.
Filipino Lolong
All adhesive crocodiles can live, both in fresh and in sea salt water, are often inhabited in the mouths of the rivers, where they hunt. In 2011, in the town of Banguanan in the Philippines was caught even more than Gustav, Crocodile, who received the name Lolong.
Crocodile Lolong
It was placed in a water ecopark specially built for him, where he lived until 2013. The causes of the death of the reptile suggest two - swallowed by a crocodile nylon cord and unusually cold weather for this climate. Officially, the reason is not named so far. Lolong reached 6.4 meters, and weighed more tons. For a short time in 2012, he was listed in the Guinness Book of Records, but after the death of the reptile, the Kassius glue still remains the largest crocodile in the world.
The largest
Of all the crocodiles that lived on our planet, the largest Sarkozuh was inhabited on Earth during the Cretaceous period. It reached a length of 12 meters and weighed about 8 tons. Such a conclusion, scientists did on the foundes found by the remains of animals. In the middle of the 20th century, in Sahara, the French paleontologist Albert Felix de Phapparent has found a teeth and several armor of such a crocodile, and skeletons were found later.
Skeleton crocodile sarkozuh
Although crocodiles can kill a person, but today people are more likely to hunt and kill these reptiles. After all, crocodile leather is a very valuable material, for which crocodiles are massively exterminated, and their number in recent years has been greatly reduced in the world. Play a role in reducing their numbers and factors such as the development of people habitats of these animals and extermination of fear, as crocodiles often hunt people.
In some countries (Australia, India, Mnyangum) reptiles are taken under protection. There are programs to restore their numbers, young crocodiles are grown on farms from eggs, the hunt for them is prohibited. The strongest reptile protection measures are being taken in Australia, and their number has increased there in recent years. And in countries such as Sri Lanka and Thailand crocodiles, probably completely disappeared. In Vietnam, their number does not exceed 100 individuals.
And in continuation of the theme of the biggest animals, we suggest familiar with.
In late May, the world's largest crocodile, Kassius Glad, noted the 110th birthday. The gift was a huge 20-kilogram chickens cake. In 2011, one of the most famous residents of the North of Australia was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest reptile contained in captivity.
This giant was caught 26 years ago in Wildlife in Australia. He caught fire at the locals and delivered a lot of inconvenience, attacking the boats. He was settled at the Green Island farm owner in the Marineland Melanesia Park.
But we begin not from it, but from past recordsmen. For example …
Length - 6 meters, weight - 1 ton. A shot of 2002 in the Republic of Burundi is a monster, the cause of death is more than 300 people.
The crocodile in the photo was shot by Steve Curl after numerous complaints from local residents.
But on Philipines was caught the biggest comb crocodile in the world at that time. Its length was 6400 mm, and the weight of more than 1000 kg. He almost a meter exceeds his relatives from the Guinness Book of Records!
The crocodile was caught in September 2011 during a three-week hunt, open after the authorities suspected that gigantic reptile attacks the locals. His victim was at least one person, one more nulls missing. In order to pull the crocodile out of the water, we needed efforts about a hundred people.
More than crescent, residents of Town Bunavan tried to catch the discovered giant crocodile. Repeatedly, the whole bait of dog meat, smoke pigs, eaten a colossal crocodile and loosely left the cooked trap. But, by a whole detachment of hunters from thirty people, it was possible to sample the network on it and wrap the crocodile with a metal cable.
Then this giant reptile became the main attraction of the town of Bunavan. For him, a special water park was built, an area of \u200b\u200b150 square meters. meters.
Scientists suggest that this instance is approximately 50 years. He can easily take first place in the book of records, because now the crocodile is only 5480 mm long.
Residents of the town of Bunavan, can now sleep calmly. Because, before that, the comb crocodile went pets, and besides, there are suspicions that he silently disappeared in July, the peasant.
As Cox, Edwin Elord, Burgomistra Bunavan: "The shooting of this crocodile was not even discussed. We specifically hunted him. To show ecotturists. "
I want to remind you that crocodiles living in salted water are long-livers. Their age reaches 100 years. But they are very vulnerable, due to hunting, their valuable skin, especially in the Philippines.
And in 2013, a rowed crocodile died. City mayor Bunavan Edwin Cox Eldas said that the cause of death could be unusual cold weather for the region
The giant became the attraction of Bunvan. "I loved this crocodile, he brought the glory to our city and the Philippines," said Eldo. Eco-park was built specifically for the crocodile, after which tourists began to come to the city. According to the mayor, in Lolong, the city earned about 3 million pesos (72 thousand dollars).
It is reported that in the vicinity of Bunvana can be found the same, if not large, crocodiles that may be dangerous for local residents and tourists.
