Misleading thumbnail. Gharials are not only more closely related to crocs but are also more antithetical to gators than crocs are. As a matter of fact it is nearly established that both gharials and crocs evolved from tomistomine ("false" gharials)-like crocodylians and crocs evolved generalist brevirostrine adaptations convergently to gators.

Hi everyone! This was BY FAR the most difficult video so far! As such, just a couple of notes; I found the measurements of each species to be highly inconsistent between sources so where possible I’ve used weights/lengths that are the same or similar between multiple reputable sources. Also, some of the species are visually very similar (yes, caiman, I’m looking at you!) so where possible, I have used only images that are tagged with the correct Latin name and in a location that makes sense with their range as well as cross referencing them with sites like Reptile Database. This was the best I could do without it taking an entire month!

Awesome video 👍 Tiny correction for the Nile crocodile bite force: Although it's indeed a Nile crocodile which holds the record for the strongest bite ever measured, it's good to note that among crocodiles the larger the individual the stronger is the bite. Therefore, some of the largest salt water crocodiles ever found would have had a stronger bite, it just hasnt' been measured. Additionally, the 3,700 PSI bite force was measured on a 4.7 m (13 ft) saltie while the 5,000 PSI one was from a Nile crocodile close to the 6 m marks. Furthermore, one was measured in the wild and the other one in a lab setting, so the accuracy might vary.

In science you don't just test one crocodile for these kind of measurements. They test a sizable number of both species. FYI the largest ever living measured crocodile was Gustav in Africa ,Uganda. Also the largest specimens to be excavated are in kenya dating back to millions of yrs ago. Yes salt water crocodiles are on average bigger than Nile crocs, but Nile crocs will have the biggest ever

Just a thought-- Nile Crocs are wayyy more aggressive than salties, so when they test bite force with a bite stick, a Nile might be biting as hard as it can out of aggression, whereas a salty is simply giving a casual, half-assed chomp.

I'm convinced that the burrowing behavior and ability to go for long periods without eating exhibited by crocodilians is one of the reasons that the species survived the End-Cretaceous Mass Extinction. There is a terrific book on crocodilians called "Dragon Songs" by Vladimir Dinets, which is the story of his globe-trotting study of crocodilian mating vocalizations and mating display behavior. It is quite a yarn!

The species list will certainty go past 30 I suspect finding more cryptic species in the future. Also interestingly the Borneo crocodile does not have any photos or drawing of the species, would certainly need conservation status assessed.

It is worth mentioning that some of the sizes he gives in this video are not as he states averages size but rather maximum size. Morlet's crocodiles are not 3m on average but rather maximum size (3-3,5m). Also sometimes maximum sizes are compared to average sizes. He for example gave the maximum size of 6m/20ft for the american croc and then mentioned the average size of the american alligator at 10-15ft/3-4,5m. While thats true it kind of conveys a false scale as the maximum size of the alligator is also about 20ft and the average size of the crocodile is 4m. To state it in a less confusing way, croc: 6-7m max and 4m average gator: 6m max and 3-4m average The dwarf caiman is also not 1,5m on average but rather max size.
