Reptiles are not the most cute or cuddly creatures on earth. Their size is no indication of their risk or safety. The most venomous snakes on earth are not the largest. However among the largest reptiles are Crocodiles, Cobras and Pythons and these are the most dangerous reptilian predators on the planet.

Crocodiles

Crocodiles are arguably the largest living reptile in the world and adult males can grow to over seven meters long and weigh in at four hundred kilograms.

Estuarine crocodiles comb the brackish waters from Northern Australia through Indonesia, Malaysia to Eastern India. They are just as comfortable in fresh water rivers and swamps and that can place them dangerously close to towns and villages.
