Description

Australian saltwater crocodile skull: Crocodylus porosus

Also called estuary crocodile or double crested crocodile.

It is the only crocodilian that can actually swim in the open sea because marine crocodiles are very tolerant of salt water and can be found in fresh river water as well as in coastal areas, in estuaries.

It is an imposing and powerful crocodile, its large body contrasts with most crocodiles which are thinner, which could make think of alligators.

Very aggressive, this crocodile will attack almost anything that moves. Sometimes they venture out to sea to feed and use the currents to move around.

Its jaw is the most powerful in the animal kingdom today, with an estimated pressure between 1.700 and more than 2.000 kg/cm2
