What is the largest living reptile? Is it a Komodo dragon or a crocodile?

Well the answer seems to vary, depending on your source, as well as your definition of "largest." But you identified two of the top contenders for the title. According to Zooish.com and several other sites, the world's largest living reptile is the Komodo dragon (Varanus komodensis), weighing in at 300 pounds, 10 feet long.

It seems to be the largest lizard but not necessarily the largest reptile. Other sites name the Australian saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) winner in the reptilian size contest. Reportedly, adult males can reach 23 feet in length, although it is rare to find one over 17 feet long.

Unfortunately, we couldn't unearth a maximum weight for the creature. (Our guess is no one wanted to get close enough to weigh one!) ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
