The largest organism found on Earth can be measured using a variety of different methods. It could be defined as the largest by volume, mass, height, or length. Some creatures group together to form a superorganism, though this cannot truly be classed as one large organism and is usually only common amongst invertebrates.
The largest living reptile, a representative of the order Crocodilia, is the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), with adult males being typically 4.5–5 m (14.8-16.5 ft) long, although the largest recorded crocodile was 8.63 m (28.3 feet) in length and weighed over 2000 kg (4400 pounds). Average-sized males weigh over 450 kg (1,000 lb). Females are much smaller than males, with typical female body lengths in the range of 2.5–3 m (8.2-10 ft). Extinct crocodilians were sometimes much larger, such as Deinosuchus, at up to 12 m (40 ft) and 9.1 tonnes (10 tons) and Sarcosuchus imperator, at up to 15 m (50 ft) and 13.6 tonnes (15 tons).

salt water croc they can get up to 28 ft. long and up to 2 tons who could definetly kill a full grown komodo dragon and a anaconda easily. where as anacondas reticulated pythons alligators and other crocs get nowhere close to that. Komodo dragons can only get about 12 ft long just by the way. oh dwalkercpa crocs aren't amphibians do some research before you make yourself look stupid again.
