    seems to be a couple feet shorter than the largest ever caught so yeah I'd say it's in the absurd big range, still gustaves bitch tho.

    You get a chance to be in the next movie from the director of Anaconda with every visit to the park. Definitely wouldn't recommend tapping the glass on that tank.

    obv...I think the point is that they caught this thing alive...which is absurd if you notice how incredibly large it is and it was caught by a bunch of villagers in the middle of nowhere...

    Would be cool to watch if someone from the tv show swamp people caught something like that and trying to get it up to the boat to shoot it.

    I remember Andrew Zimmern eating some crocodile (or was it gator?) on Bizarre Foods once, looked delicious.

    That said, I'm glad this particular specimen is gonna be in a zoo

    don't you guys think its cruel that this massive things is going to live in a confined space until it dies?

    This is why I hate zoos they should leave it at his home or move it to a place where it would live a happier live not a fucking tank.

    1 killer croc doesnt live a happy life so that should make me not like zoos? think about the thousands and thousands of people that it does make happy and the tens of thousands that it can generate in revenue...its not like this croc is gonna be tortured or something...you think it wont be happy?? it wont have to compete for food with other crocs ever again which should make it pretty content imo.

    I think if it had a pretty big enclosure then it would be fair enough, but that thing would would have to be miles away from anyone to be safe in the wild.
