Marine Trivia Game Thread!

[rhyano19]

I am starting this thread to test everyones knowledge in the realm of all things marine. I will post a question that anybody can answer, a new question will not be posted until the original one is answered correctly. I will keep track of who answers questions correctly and post a scoreboard/leaderboard along with every new question, which will most likely create some competition amongst you guys but thats the best part! Alright here is the 1st question

1. What is the heaviest living reptile in the world? (It happens to have a marine habitat)


Good Luck!

ZING! Nice job haha. I was almost positive someone would take the bait on guessing the saltwater crocodile, because it is the largest living reptile, however not the heaviest. Congratulations, you are the first leader.
