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.

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.

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.

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
