Q- Which is 'The Largest Extant Species of Crocodile in the World'?
Answer:
'The Largest Species of Crocodile in the World is the Saltwater Crocodile'. It is found in eastern India, northern Australia, throughout south-east Asia, and in the surrounding waters.
The largest captive crocodile alive in the US is considered to be 'Utan'. As of 2002 records, it measured 20 feet (6.1 m) long and weighed more than a ton. It is also considered to be 'The Largest Crocodile to be ever exhibited in the United States'. It is settled in Myrtle Beach.
However, there is another contender. According to some Wildelife Experts the largest crocodile was the one found in the Bhitarkanika. It was almost 23 feet (7.0 m) long, which could be traced from the skull preserved by the Kanika Royal Family. The crocodile was shot near Dhamara in 1926 and later its skull was preserved by the then Kanika King. Crocodile experts estimate the animal was between 20 feet (6.1 m) and 23 feet (7.0 m) long, as the size of the skull was measured one ninth of the total length of the body.
