This makes the movie 'Lake Placid' realistic then?

You've got to wonder why so invincible an animal is now extinct. Did he run out things big enough to eat? Were the compact models more adaptable?

Ah, A pair of crocodile low-heel pumps for hitlery.

[TADSLOS]

Kriky, mate!

The crocodile was a silent stalker, as long as a school bus and weighing almost 18,000 pounds.

That thing would have had to displace over two thousand gallons of water to float. Is that reasonable for something as small as a school bus? Something sounds fishy here (no pun intended).

I suppose it could have depended upon power to get to the surface and been unable to float. I don't know anything about the math to calculate what kinds of forces would be required. It probably wouldn't be silent.

Shalom.

Son of a gun !! The original Hildebeastus Primordialus !! Wonder if the critter wore a black pantsuit ???????

weighing almost 18,000 pounds.......five feet in diameter.......... four foot jaws

Calculating the approximate surface area results in a creature with an approximate yield of 2,500 pairs of 'gator boots or 5,000 regular pair of shoes.

Good argument for cloning.

"The skull of the world's largest living crocdile looks like an hors d'oeuvre by comparison."
