A smaller, poorly known crocodile historically confused with the saltwater crocodile, with its taxonomic status still debated by some researchers — some treat it as a valid distinct species, others as a population of a wider-ranging form.
Found in freshwater swamps and slow rivers, generally smaller and less frequently encountered than the saltwater crocodile. Given ongoing taxonomic uncertainty, treat identification of any individual claimed as this species with caution.
