This crocodile used to live in South America and weighed about 18,500 pounds. Its terribly large size and also the giant teeth made it hard for other species to harm it. Scientists even had stated that every bite that it made exerted a total of 15,500 pounds of force. That is incredibly strong for a crocodile.

This species is so unique as it had a duck-like face and not many crocodile species have that. It can grow up to as long as 39-feet-4-inches long. 6 million years ago, it was believed to live in Brazil and Venezuela. According to all the evidence collected so far, it is suggested that the duck-like face is used to scoop water into its mouth and also to swallow its prey in a whole. Unfortunately, this species has a very weak tooth.

4) Rhamphosuchus (36 Feet)

This species is likely to live around the Miocene period. As can be seen from its fossils, it can grow up to 26 feet in length. Its beak is also so unique because of the shape of the unique beak-like snout. Due to that, it is also usually called the beak crocodile. Amazingly, this crocodile can weigh up to 6,000 pounds.

5) Deinosuchus (35 Feet)
