Largest alligators ever recorded were a little under 16 foot long and weighed about 1000 pounds. Largest crocodiles ever recorded topped 20 feet and weighed over 2000 pounds.

Either of them come anywhere near me, I’m not stopping to quibble over a few feet or even 1000 pounds :)

In his book: Trader Horn Being the Life and Works of Alfred Aloysius Horn, from 1927,Horn writes: "The crocodiles grow to a tremendous size and I measured some of them especially one who often could be seen on the long sand bank near Adonimango. From the tip of his tailmark on the sand to his nose he easily measured over 33 feet,was olive green in colour..." By the way Trader Horn is a great book and are fairly cheap on Ebay.

Agreed.In the Northern Territory you can be ripped to shreds in 2 minutes.In the Florida Everglades it might take 5.

If you ever have some free time search "safarilive" on youtube.Live webcasts from National Parks in Kenya and South Africa.If you're lucky you get to see Nile Crocodiles catch,and then rip to shreds,a wildebeest or a zebra trying to cross a river.
