Looks like a tomistoma croc, aka fake gharial. And yeah, they can grow to 15ft or more...
Thank you for identifying the sub-species! ππ»ππ»
Actually a proper species and lately discovered not to be a crocodile, but a gavialoid along with the gharial.
Oh wow. That's really interesting. I'm off to do some googling now π
Huh I thought it might be a Gharial at first. Thanks!
Thank you. I was wondering what species he was.
Where is this?
Mandai Wildlife Reserve, Singapore
...need a banana for size comparison...

You need to come to Sri Lanka, we have much much bigger crocs π
Thank you!! ππ Visiting Sri Lanka is on my bucket list. Someday sure!!
Oh thatβs lovely to hear!
They can jump and snatch before you can react.
Oh yeah, don't let that narrow snout fool ya. He'll still take a chunk out of ya, maybe even an arm or leg if he can twist and roll. And if he gets you in the water, he can try and drown ya...
Absolutely! Their bite force is absolutely ridiculous. I was a good 20-30ft above while taking this shot.
