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.
Wasn't there a thread on FR last year about a huge wild boar? Does anyone have that one bookmarked?
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?
Oh .......the suspense!
That's the one I was looking for, C. Thanks much! (Couldn't find it any of my FR searches.)
The other one was Hogzilla - captured in Georgia, IIRC.

Get the bootmaker on the blower pronto!

Those pictures were WAY too impressive not to share! :)
I have a wild boar story too, but we broke up.
I would have loved to have seen one of the "croc hunter" types try to ride this guy.
