Aus dem Inhalt:
Crocodylus porosus is considered the largest of the living crocodilians, with reported lengths of up to 6-7 m. Although accounting for far less human fatalities than the Nile crocodile, C. porosus preys on people when given the opportunity. It is one of the most widely distributed of all crocodilians, ranging from southern India and Sri Lanka, throughout southeast Asia, east through the Philippines to Micronesia, and down through Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands to northern Australia.
