Here's a few more picts of the croc we trapped on a depredation permit in NT. Matt Kelman of Carmor Plains had the permit, the croc was eating cattle belonging to Danny White and family on Mt. Keppler station.

That's a big nasty lizard. Eating cattle...yikes.

the first photo say's "croc trapped in small billabong"--------you should see the size of the crocs in "large billabongs"
Malcolm

how does the size of this one compare to others in the same area cause that one looks pretty big

That looks like it is about 12 to 14 feet.

Imagine a 20 foot monster!

He didn't look much in the cage, but when he stood up to shake hands . . .

He was 14'8". We saw at least a hundred crocs larger than 11 feet on a little over 1 mile of fishing on Sampan Creek.

That is 14 feet of nastiness if you ask me.

Is sport hunting Croc's legal anywhere in Oz? I bet there are some monsters out there.

I remember, not long ago, when there was an interesting proposal to help manage the salt croc population. Steve Irwin got involved and shut that one down. If I'm not mistaken, didn't some govt. hunters have to kill the crocs anyway? They should have let the sport hunters come in. I think there was a lot of money missed on that one. I doubt the salties are in any way endangered. It's not like something is higher on the food chain Poachers? I'm sure there are some but sport hunting would assist the management in many ways.
