Saltwater crocodile

Crocodylus porosus

The saltwater crocodile is native to regions of Australia, New Guinea, Indonesia, and a handful of surrounding islands.  This species has a high tolerance for salinity, hence its name, and can easily inhabit brackish coasts, as well as saltwater estuaries.  An adult saltwater crocodile can reach a length of 7m and weigh up to 1,200kg.  This species, like all crocodiles, is a carnivore feeding on various small to large vertebrates found within their habitat.  This skull was cast from a very large specimen.

Model length: 71cm
