About: List of largest reptiles

The list of largest reptiles includes living crocodilians that reach a length of 6 m (20 ft) and more, such as Orinoco crocodile (Crocodylus intermedius), American crocodile (C. acutus), Nile crocodile (C. niloticus), saltwater crocodile (C. porosus), gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) and false gharial (Tomistoma schlegelii). The largest known crocodilian specimen measured 6.78 m (22.2 ft) and was shot in South America by Aimé Bonpland. Unconfirmed reports of larger crocodilians exist, but examinations of incomplete remains indicate a length of less than 7 m (23 ft) and a weight of less than 2,000 kg (4,400 lb).
