Estuarine/saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus)




It's a happy sighting of the croc at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve before I had my lunch at the cafe. The crocs at Buloh are known as Estuarine or saltwater crocodile, they can grow up to 6m long but in Singapore the longest is about 2.5m and I don't think they will grow longer because Singapore is just too small compared to Australia ones that can grow up to 6m.

The most common one is the 1.5m one that always hang around the river along the main bridge. Low tide is the best time to spot them.

Have fun spotting them!
