A little more perspective
Guinness records Lolong at 6.17 meters after his 2011 measurement in the Philippines. The figure describes that individual, later reported dead in February 2013; it is not an average adult crocodile or a current living-animal measurement.
The picture represents a large adult saltwater crocodile with the body and tail extended along one horizontal axis. It is not a specimen-identification portrait of Lolong’s scars or scales. A curled tail would shorten the visible straight span, so the selected length view retains the complete extended tail.
