The five largest reptiles on earth are alive
Reptiles have been on our planet about 300 million years ago. To date, many reptiles are as big as giant monsters that still exist on the earth: saltwater crocodile, Amazon python, Komodo dragon .
Here is a list of the 5 largest reptile species alive on earth:
Saltwater crocodile is the largest living reptile in the world, can be more than 6 meters long, living from Southeast Asia to Australia. They are also believed to have originated more ancient than dinosaurs. This giant reptile's teeth can crush the cow's skull and swallow people easily. In Australia alone, people have to mark large areas of crocodiles for people to avoid straying and pointing to a crocodile lunch.
Next is the python species, 6.95 meters long, longer than the saltwater crocodile but not as heavy. Python often kills prey by wrapping it tightly, causing its prey to suffocate and break bones and swallow. In it, python mesh is the longest and heaviest species. Then there is Anacondas python living in the South American Amazon. Legend of this python is a very scary human carnivorous python.
And this is the Sea Lizard , the adult is about 2 meters long, about 3 meters. They have soft apricot, the fastest movement speed in reptiles. Leatherbacks with a lot of fatty tissue keep the body warm and provide plenty of energy to allow them to dive up to 1,200 meters below the seabed. The food of leatherback turtles is mainly jellyfish, but sometimes they are poisoned and die from eating the jellyfish's toxic plastic bag. Lizard eggs and turtles are one of the dishes of residents in Malaysia, Thailand and the Caribbean. That makes the population of the leatherback turtles vulnerable.
At 3 meters in length, equivalent to a sea turtle, the Komodo dragon is a lizard that has tremendous hunting potential, killing all humans. Males often hunt in the afternoon by ambushing and using strong sharp claws, and tail and mouth foam movements containing deadly poisonous bacteria. Appearance and killing ability, Komodo dragon is no different from a very ferocious monster.
Finally, the Tuatara lizard, which lives on the island off New Zealand, is the longest surviving reptile, since the Mesozoic era. They have legs and brains that closely resemble animal-based animals, have three eyelids, and one-third of the eye is located at the top of the head to detect day and night cycles. Tuatara can be up to 80cm long and weighs 1.3kg.
