Big Crocodile (amazing)

99.99% that it is fake cat
The person holding that cat so easily ..
Photoshoped eh?

Rajat

 

either that or they stuck an air hose NM!!

 

Steve Irwin would have blown a gasket seeing that thing shot and strung up.

 

wow amazing, and it was between Athens and Israel, there is no country called Palestine

 

I work at an alligator park with about 1,200 of these guys, and that is definitely an alligator, and that's definitely a deer. That's a male alligator, due to its size, and the big bulls sometimes will capture deer, eat what they can and then store the rest for later on. That entire deer would probably be enough food for that big boy for a year. And for differences between alligators and crocodiles, there's about a hundred differences, the snout being one of them. Color or speckling is not always a determining factor, take the dwarf croc for an example, they are generally a solid dark color.

As for killing it, there are probably a number of reasons. More then likely there was a public outcry from people that live in the area for their safety, or he didn't show fear towards people. While alligators don't like the taste of people and are more scared of us generally, there are the exceptions. Usually the exceptions are because people made them that way by feeding them. These guys have a hard time distinguishing between a treat and a hand and can get confused. Crocodiles are the ones you need to worry about eating people, not alligators.

 

wow! awesome post, very informative, thanks!!

 

That ends the debate if its a croc or an alligator...Thanks for clearing it up

 

That cat was featured in Ripley's before and according to them its not true

Big, have seen bigger though on Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe though.

 

so not a good lake to swim in

 

Not THATS a big croc!

 

except it's an alligator

 

is that your pickup

we saw a bunch in FL but it was IN a controlled environment

 

i love the bit where "they had to shoot it"

couldnt have left another wonder of the world alone?

its like the first time they found a polar bear cross with a grizzly.

guess what they did.

yep thats right

they shot it.

 

so what are they supposed to do just let it roam?

 

Thats way to big and it would eat everything in its way..dogs,cats, and kids etc....

 

that's wild...I did not know it was that common! thankfully we only have the cute tiny lizards around here
