List of largest reptiles

Black caimans can reach more than 5 m (16 ft) in length and weigh up to 750 kg (1,650 lb). American alligators can be almost as large, with males reaching 4.6 m (15 ft) in length and weighing over 500 kg (1,100 lb). Unverified reports suggest lengths of up to 6 m (20 ft) for the black caiman and 5.84 m (19.2 ft) for the American alligator, reaching weights of over 1,000 kg (2,200 lb), but such lengths are probably exaggerated. 380: 268: 156: 593: 324: 1700: 464: 1603:, living within Bhitarkanika National Park. Due to the difficulty of trapping and measuring a large living crocodile, the accuracy of these dimensions is yet to be verified. These observations and estimations have been made by park officials over the course of ten years, from 2006 to 2016, however, regardless of the skill of the observers it cannot be compared to a verified tape measurement, especially considering the uncertainty inherent in visual size estimation in the wild. The largest 1219: 1847: 1653: 492: 436: 1482: 240: 212: 1022: 886:), which may have existed up to 40,000 years ago, is the largest terrestrial lizard known to exist, but the lack of a complete skeleton has resulted in a wide range of size estimates. Molnar's 2004 assessment resulted in an average weight of 320 kg (710 lb) and length of 4.5 m (15 ft), and a maximum of 1,940 kg (4,280 lb) at 7 m (23 ft) in length, which is toward the high end of the early estimates. 1387: 1166: 1092: 1340:) are considered the largest truly terrestrial reptiles alive today. While the Aldabra tortoise averages larger at 205 kg (452 lb), the more variable-sized Galapagos tortoise can reach a greater maximum size of 400 kg (880 lb) and 1.85 m (6.1 ft) in total length. The Aldabra giant tortoise has a maximum recorded weight of 363 kg (800 lb). The 100: 1279:), is the largest living species of freshwater turtle. However, such claims are fraught with problems, because it now seems likely that this species is actually a composite, i.e., consisting of several separate, presently undifferentiated species that have all been traditionally but erroneously lumped together taxonomically as a single species. In the genus 1428: 4988: 1815:. This species is believed to have weighed up to 126 kg (278 lb), measured 7.9 m (26 ft) in total length (including a neck length of over 3 m (9.8 ft)) and measured up to 10–12 m (33–39 ft) across the wings. Another possible contender for the largest pterosaur is 1901:

as the longest dinosaur at 48 m (157 ft) but this animal is known only from fossil tracks. In 2020 Molina Perez & Larramendi suggested that the narrow-gauge track, the position of the claws, and the era all indicate that it belonged to an enormous diplodocoid, and estimated its size at

from the Miocene of Asia. It was originally thought to be 18 m (59 ft) long and more than 20 t (44,000 lb) in weight but later estimations suggest 11 m (36 ft) and 2–3 t (4,400–6,600 lb). Based on its fossils, the latter species was less massive and heavy than

species, with large males in the southern part of their range reported to approach 6.1 m (20 ft) in size. Based on projections from various skulls, the largest males may have reached 6–7 m (20–23 ft) in length, and their predicted mass reached up to 1,283 kg (2,829 lb).

1151:

ichthyosaur, with 17.65 m (57.9 ft) in length and 45 t (99,000 lb) in weight. In 2022 the tooth of a giant predatory ichthyosaur (unofficially named Swiss Tyrant) was discovered in the Swiss Alps. Based on crown diameter, the animal was about 18 m (59 ft) long and

934:, often reaching lengths up to 1.5 metres (4.91 ft) and masses of 4 kg (8.8 lb), and with a maximum length of 2 m (6.6 ft) and a mass of 8 kg (18 lb) and in some cases even 9.1 kg (20 lb). However, the heaviest species in this family is the 4960: 1889:. Known only by lost vertebra, it was estimated at 58 m (190 ft) in length and 122.4 t (270,000 lb) in weight but later studies suggest smaller size, about 35 m (115 ft) in length and 70–95 t (154,000–209,000 lb) in weight. 1348:) is the third-largest extant tortoise (and the largest mainland tortoise) in the world. The large adults of this species may reach 1 m (3.3 ft) in length and weigh more than 100 kg (220 lb). Other relatively large-sized tortoises include the 1882:

Other large species in this family include the 295: 1593:. A 6.17 m (20.2 ft) long individual was captured alive in Mindanao in 2011. The largest confirmed Saltwater crocodile on record was 6.32 m (20.7 ft) long, and weighed about 1,360 kg (3,000 lb). In 2006, 805:), reaches a maximum length of 2.13 m (7 ft), and according to W. A. King one large specimen had a length of 2.26 m (7.4 ft) and a mass of 11 kg (24 lb). The third largest rattlesnake is the 3427:
