One Huge Crocodile
Bruce R. Dwyer Fort Sill, OK ^ | January 25, 2005 | Calpernia

Posted on 01/25/2005 8:50:25 AM PST by Calpernia

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.

That was my first thought. If a person came up on that critter on a jungle trail He would die of fright right there...
