Andrew: Did they check its stomach contents to see if it was a Maneater?

There is no human population here.

Difficult to age but maybe 50 - 60?

Most Great White Sharks are not this long and probably not as big.

Amazing. Not sure, but the photo seems to indicate a full tail.

Probably one of the longest crocs I have seen posted on AR

I think there was a real monster out of Ethiopia a while back

Uh, the fish poachers on the river don’t count? Remember, I tore my rotator cuff when I tripped and crashed while trying to run one of those bastards down. Thankfully it was on the last morning of my hunt. I wish there were no people there at all.

That is one big scary lizard , Crocs and gators Both can be extremely dangerous to fishermen and anyone around rivers and lakes. Like snakes you often don't see them in tall grass on the edge of the water. Glad they got him !

Nice! Never hunted croc before but may next year.
Principal target is lion, but that means going down to the lake and shooting a hippo. I may reserve a forequarter for croc bait while I hunt stuff around the lake for a few days. Those look really nice.
