One Huge Crocodile

This crocodile was on the beach in front of the Petroleum club, Plage Sportive in Pointe Noire (Republic of Congo) . 21 FT long, 4,500 lbs, around 80 years old minimum.

Specialists said that he was looking to eat humans because he was too old to catch animals.

For the past few months in some villages close to Pointe Noire people were complaining that some people in their villages have been disappearing, could be this crocodile?

This crocodile was killed by the army last Sunday at 3:00 pm, currently he is in the freezer at the Azur hotel.

General interest, animal ping

[ladtx]

What a croc!

[Baynative]

THAT'S HUGH! -I'm series.

[Dissident Aggressor]

Damn that's a big'un.

Specialists said that he was looking to eat humans because he was too old to catch animals.

Well, the poor thing was getting old and it was harder to feed himself. And PETA would certainly have approved his change in diet.

[diamond6]

Looks like a dinosaur! Yikes!

[Calpernia]

I think PETA might try to introduce him to Tofu.

Ever see their new food lines they promote for animas? Yogurt bits, peanut butter snacks and tofu junk?

Unreal.

[Calpernia]

Yes it does!

I can't even imagine what a roar from that thing would sound like.

[HairOfTheDog]

Wow... he was huge... and old. It's a shame to kill him really.... He's like the big old fish in "On Golden Pond"... He's gotten so big it'd be a shame to kill him. He'd have been a great sight at a zoo... and perhaps we could have learned exactly how long he could have lived.

[Calpernia]

How big do these animals get?

[vin-one]

nah, looks like my next pair of shoes........and lots of them

[ClearCase_guy]

Crikey! Look at the size of this bloke!

[stainlessbanner]

We're gonna need a bigger boat.

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

It looks like Schnappi ate some people this time.

[HairOfTheDog]

How big do these animals get?

Not sure we know.... I think it would have been cool to keep him and see!

[Fierce Allegiance]

Damned schnappi! lol, thanks!

Didn't they make a movie about a monster gator, once?

[7.62 x 51mm]

Monster croc ping!

[Bart Ristuccia]

CRIKEY!
Had to say that. That is a big bastard of a croc, we have a few of those buggers here in Australia.
PETA, aren't they the mob trying to screw Australian sheep farmers?
Should have fed PETA to the croc, better still get them to have a nice swim in one of Australia's crocodile infested lakes. hmmmmmmm Just tell them its Australia's fountain of youth. heheheheheheheeeeee

Wasn't there a thread on FR last year about a huge wild boar? Does anyone have that one bookmarked?

[Calpernia]

Oh you are right! I remember that.

Alligator (1980)

Suspense/Horror
A vicious alligator named Ramon, who was flushed into the city sewer as a baby, survives to become a 32-foot-long menace who devours animals and people alike. Ramon's so huge because of the steady diet of dead pets - treated with growth hormones - that he's fed on for 12 years. Now the tremendous brute is angry and looking for revenge. Only detective David Madison knows of Ramon's existence, and it is his task to prove to the rest of the city that a tropical beast lives in their midst. Veteran screenwriter Sayles' script finds the perfect blend of comedy and horror, making this an entertaining romp through the sewers of Chicago.

I have a wild boar story here at my site with pictures:

Weird. I wonder...Do we taste bad or what? Why only eat us when they can't catch other animals? I mean...An easy meal is an easy meal, isn't it?

[diamond6]

Oh .......the suspense!

[7.62 x 51mm]

That's the one I was looking for, C. Thanks much! (Couldn't find it any of my FR searches.)

[stainlessbanner]

The other one was Hogzilla - captured in Georgia, IIRC.

[davetex]

Get the bootmaker on the blower pronto!

[MotleyGirl70]

No kiddin'. Looks prehistoric.

We could have donated Michael Moore as food.

Rights, farms, environment ping.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

[Libertina]

LOL Calpernia! What a great catch of a story (so to speak) ;)

[diamond6]

LOL!

[wardaddy]

Call Hermes.

Lots on Birken Bags for the taking.

[Calpernia]

Those pictures were WAY too impressive not to share! :)

[Dashing Dasher]

I have a wild boar story too, but we broke up.

[af_vet_rr]

I would have loved to have seen one of the "croc hunter" types try to ride this guy.

[uglybiker]

How big do these animals get?

Reptiles grow throughout their entire lives.

Da longer dey lives, da bigger dey gits.

[Calpernia]

[Calpernia]

I think this expert might qualify.

[razorback-bert]

Takes one big freezer to hold him.

[Bart Ristuccia]

Donate Michael Moore and PETA as food.

[E.G.C.]

BTT!!!!!

,, no doubt the same hotel freezer that's housed many corpses, coup after coup.

[dd5339]

Wanna throw a top jaw rope on this guy?

Semper Fi

[texasflower]

OMG!

[Richard Kimball]

I agree. On the other hand, I have no idea how you'd capture a beast that size. I'll tell you one thing, though, a zoo would have paid enough for one that size to make it worth a try. I'll bet Steve Irwin gets sick to his stomach when he reads this story. Seriously, that guy really loves these things.

[bootless]

How about Fruit Loops and bagel chips?
