This research aims to determine the population and structure of Senyulong Crocodile (Tomistoma schlegelii) in Tanjung Puting National Park in West Kotawaringin District, Central Kalimantan. As the results, as many as 56 individuals of Senyulong Crocodile were found in the Camp Leakey Area (Sekonyer Kanan River) to Muara (Muara Ali) within the park, including 8 adult individuals, 15 individual children, and 33 individual infants. Opportunities for the appearance of one individual in the census (p) are 0,58 with a standard deviation (S) of 3.90. Population density (N) estimated about 16.09 individuals. The average observed individual from each observation (x?) was 9.33 individuals.

Summary
Indonesia dikenal mempunyai 4 jenis buaya yaitu buaya Senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii), buaya Muara (Crocodylus porosus), buaya Siam (Crocodylus siamensis), buaya Irian (Crocodylus novaguineae). Dari keempat jenis buaya yang terdapat di Indonesia, hanya 2 jenis buaya yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk tujuan komersial yaitu buaya Muara (Crocodylus porosus) dan buaya Irian (Crocodylus novaguineae) sedangkan 2 jenis yang tidak komersial yaitu buaya Senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii) dan buaya Siam (Crocodylus siamensis). Hal ini berarti buaya Senyulong menghadapi resiko kepunahan yang tinggi di alam liar (IUCN, 2015). Upaya mempertahankan kelestarian buaya Senyulong telah dilakukan, salah satunya di Taman Nasional Tanjung Puting (TNTP).
