  • curprev 20:4120:41, 10 December 2023‎ Cporosus1 talk contribs‎ 124,489 bytes −633‎ →‎Distribution and habitat: Historical records of attacks in southern China occurred in estuaries and saltwater crocodile skeletons were found in these areas. The paper that was written regarding the extinct slender-snouted species being responsible for fatal attacks in southern China was clearly written by someone without any understanding of crocodilian ecology. That species was a predominantly freshwater species similar to the Tomistoma and would not have been present in Pearl River delta

The idea that there are "multiple crocodiles of 6 meters in length" in the park is hilariously inaccurate. The 7 meter claim was rejected by Guinness due to the lack of evidence and the rangers who survey Bhitarkanika are not experienced crocodile specialists. Also, saltwater crocodiles do not "regularly" exceed 5.2 meters in length. Even as the largest crocodilian species, they rarely exceed 5 meters.

No males from any extant crocodile species AVERAGE 5 meters in length. The AVERAGE size for adult male saltwater crocodiles is 4-4.5 meters. 5 meters would be the average MAXIMUM. And anything over 5 meters would be considered exceptional. Individuals over 5.5 meters are once in a lifetime.

We cannot presume that it did, since we do not have enough evidence beyond Lolong's DCL:TL. It is certainly possible, but the language needs to be changed.
  • curprev 20:2220:22, 10 December 2023‎ Cporosus1 talk contribs‎ 126,045 bytes −1,227‎ →‎Taxonomy and evolution: There is no reliable evidence for the existence of C. raninus and it is well known that the physical characteristics of saltwater crocodiles vary throughout the range of the species, with notable changes to the nuchal scutes the further north in the range you go. This does NOT indicate C. raninus or a subspecies.
  • curprev 20:1920:19, 10 December 2023‎ Cporosus1 talk contribs‎ 127,272 bytes +7‎ While saltwater crocodiles CAN reach >6 meters in length, individuals over 5 meters in length are rare. 5 meters is the average MAXIMUM length that an adult male crocodile could reach in its lifetime, but most adult males will not reach this maximum. This is a common misconception, that 5 meters is somehow the "average size", it absolutely is not.
