Fresh or with Salt?

Crocodiles have salt secretion glands to get rid of excess salt. This allow crocodiles to inhabit saltwater (something alligators can’t do).

The most salt tolerant of all crocodiles is the Indo-Pacific crocodile  (Crocodylus porosus) with the apt Australian common name “saltie”.

It is also the world’s largest croc.
