An adult male saltwater crocodile is generally between 4.3 and 5.2 m (14 and 17 ft) in length and weighs 400–1,000 kg (880–2,200 lb).

I would still take 1000 lb, because out of 600 adult saltwater crocodiles, only 25 were longer than 4 m (average is roughly 3 m, I know that we should ignore this, as the crocodile grows all it's life, I was just saying that for those who are interested in it), so something in the 5 m region may already be too high for this matchup:

It really depends what they mean by "adult".

These scientists most likely define an adult as a sexually matured specimen. Problem is, that a sexually matured crocodile is still far from a cry away from reaching full adult length.

For instance, in the human world, an 11 or 12 year old boy might be able to reproduce. This does not make him a fully grown adult, but rather a mature-but-still-growing specimen.

I did not try to imply that we should take a 2,2 m long crocodile. My point was, that 4 m< crocodiles are already very rare. Such crocodiles could be already fully grown.

0:09 A nice visual demonstration of size vartiaton amongst crocodiles.

I think one of the problems with estimating the average size of large crocodiles is that they mature at in incredibly slow rate.



1:38 ^ Considering crocodiles in their thirties are still considered young, it really is no wonder why their is such a massive size disparity among sexually mature crocodiles.

Walrus wins this fight easily. The crocodile would struggle greatly to go through that armor, and the walrus has tusks with them to stab at the croc and kill it.

At parity it would be 50/50

I think the walrus wins, it can easily crush the croc

Edit: no, now that I think about it, leaning towards the saltie
