Saltire are dangerous and Australia is infested with them.
Be thankful that Megalania is extinct - in the past Australia had giant monitor lizards that made today’s Komodo Dragon look pint-sized in comparison.
That’s a lotta shoes.
Why didn’t the Secret Sevice stop them. Hillary has protection, right?
is his former home being gentrified?
Thank God for duct tape.
Ten years to catch a croc, good work if you can find it.
And people were complaining how long it was taking to catch Bin Laden with the Pakistanis protecting him.
1322 pounds and 15 feet 5 inches long.
And 60 years old. That’s pretty impressive.
That must be terrifying for that little croc. In normal circumstances, I assume the big guy would make a meal of that little guy. In the wild, I’m guessing he always keeps a safe distance between himself and the big guy.
choot ‘em Holdie, choot ‘em!
...The reptile will be taken to a croc farm in the Katherine region, NT Parks and Wildlife confirmed.
He'll be the only exhibit in no time.
The hunt began after rumours of a “large dark tail” spotted near a local boat ramp
Damn!

What about Krys, the “Savannah King”?
According to a story, a giant crocodile was shot was near Normanton, Queensland, Australia. In the Norman river It was shot in July 1958, and nicknamed Krys after the person who shot it. It was claimed at 28 foot 4 inches (8.64 meters) there is a life size replica of it at Normanton, Queensland, Australia.
Zoologist Adam Britton says: “I’ve never counted “Krys” because it’s just a story – there’s no evidence at all to back it up, and it just seems so far outside the maximum possible range for this species that I’d need some pretty solid evidence to believe it. That’s why it never appears in any official statistics.
