The Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) is an African crocodile and the second largest extant reptile in the world, after the saltwater crocodile. The Nile crocodile is quite widespread throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, occurring mostly in the central, eastern, southern and some western parts of the continent and lives in different types of aquatic environments such aslakes, rivers and marshlands. Although capable of living in saline environments, this species is rarely found in saltwater, but occasionally inhabits deltas and brackish lakes. The range of this species once stretched northward throughout the Nile, as far north as the Nile delta. On average the Nile crocodile is between 4.1 metres (13 ft) to 5 metres (16 ft), weighing around 410 kg (900 lb).[2] However, specimens measuring 6.1 metres (20 ft) in length and weighing 900 kg (2,000 lb) are not uncommon.[3] They have thick scaly skin that is heavily armored.

Adult male saltwater crocodile's weight is 600 to 1000 kilograms (1300-2200 lb) and length is normally 4.1 to 5.5 metres (13-18 ft). Freshwater crocodiles a male would weigh 60 kg and a female would weigh about 30kg. A large Nile crocodile which may weigh more than 900 kg (2000 lb.).

Most of the reports of the largest Nile crocodile ever found measuring around 23 feet long exist but are not confirmed. However, the largest scientifically measured and recorded Nile crocodile was around 21 feet long and weighed around 2400 lbs. This crocodile was shot and killed near Mwanza in Tanzania. Other reports of much larger specimens remain unverified. See the relate link below for more info.
