Saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) are found in a wide range of coastal and freshwater habitats across the Indo-Pacific region. Their distribution includes:
- Coastal brackish mangrove swamps, river deltas, and freshwater rivers from India's east coast, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh to Myanmar, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, the Philippines, Timor Leste, Palau, Solomon Islands, Singapore, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, and northern Australia
- They inhabit tropical to warm temperate latitudes in the eastern Indian Ocean and western Pacific Ocean
- In Australia, stable populations are found in northern Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Broome in Western Australia, with fragmented populations throughout Southeast Asia and various Pacific islands
- Saltwater crocodiles are capable swimmers in both saltwater and freshwater and can travel long distances at sea, often found in estuaries, lagoons, deltas, and lower stretches of rivers
They are not found in Florida or Georgia; the crocodiles in Florida are American crocodiles, a different species
. In summary, saltwater crocodiles are primarily distributed throughout coastal and adjacent freshwater habitats in South and Southeast Asia, northern Australia, and various islands in the Indo-Pacific region
