Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus)

As the largest reptiles currently alive today, saltwater crocodiles are terribly strong apex predators native to southeast Asian and Australian wetlands. Full sized adult males are as long as 6 m in length and can swallow most of their prey whole. They attack by ambush, usually holding their victims under water with their massive body weight, ultimately drowning them before feeding. Unlike other crocodilians, salties are capable of living in salt water - as their name suggests - thanks to hyperactive salt glands that secrete excess salt taken in from their brackish environment. Although quite capable predators, they actually go days at a time without food, and normally remain rather lazy in order to simply conserve energy for their next hunt. When the time arises though, bursts of energy combined with the strongest bite force in the animal kingdom make any prey quick work. Saltwater crocodiles are also surprisingly intelligent for reptiles, capable of picking up on migratory patterns of prey to know when their next meal will arrive. They will eat just about anything they can get their jaws on, even launching themselves vertically out of the water to catch birds out of the air.
