Whoah Crocodile.....

[Rustler9]

This crocodile was found in New Orleans swimming down the street. 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. This crocodile was killed by the army last Sunday at 3:00 pm, currently he is in the freezer at the Azur hotel. The contents of it's stomach will be analyzed this Friday at 2:30pm.

I don't know what happened to them-I posted them like I always do and I could see them when I previewed them but now I can't see them either. I'll try again. Sorry.

I'm always a little skeptical (SP?) about stuff on the internet. Especially photos. But it's still looks pretty neat.

Someone sent me the email with the pictures-but he does look pretty big if you compare his body size to the truck bed.

It evidently takes a while to open them-I downsized them in Photobucket and put them in here. I don't know anything else to do. Sorry. If the post stays open a while they seem to show up.????

Sorry guys, this one is not true.

"These photographs actually show a crocodile that was shot and killed on 6 July 2003 at Pointe-Noire in the Republic of Congo. According to an article in allafrica.com, the reptile was a Nile crocodile whose vital statistics fell a bit short of the claims made above: he was estimated to be 50 years old, about 16 feet in length, and about 1,900 lbs. (not quite the 80-year-old, 21-foot, 4,500-pound monster described in e-mail). The local mayor reportedly insisted on preserving the crocodile's carcass against the efforts of locals who wanted to eat it and arranged for it to be shipped to a taxidermist. "

An awesome creature, wherever it is/was...part of me is relieved that it is dead and part of me is sad that such a magnificent specimen is no longer alive, simply because it was in the way of humans....
