Fake

I can tell by the lack of shadow, the fact that the people are not looking at the gigantic croc leaping out of the water, and having seen quite a few shops in my time

 

[Xamdou]

I wonder which brave soul they will hire to feed this one ton croc in a daily bases in their upcoming ecotourism park :O!

 

[ULTROS!]

The croc made it to the front page as the highlighted article in our newspaper.

Killer croc is now famous.

 

[butzopower]

After initial sightings at a creek, the hunters set four traps, which the crocodile destroyed. They then used sturdier traps using steel cables, one of which finally caught the enormous reptile late Saturday, he said.

Dude, just use a shock trap and pelt it with sleep bombs.

Seriously though, I'm pretty sure I fought this thing in Monster Hunter Tri.

Croc vs Shark would be such a fuck awesome fight.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Jesus H. Christ that thing is huge.

"About 100 people had to pull the crocodile, which weighs about 2,370 pounds (1,075 kilograms), from the creek to a clearing where a crane lifted it into a truck."

lakers representing!

Yeah that's real. Here in Louisiana the gators are a little smaller, but guides do the same thing.

I actually just looked it up. It's been mildly edited - the croc in the original is maybe 10 or 15 percent smaller. But it's still _huge_, mind you. It's named Brutus... that's appropriate.

How much money do you have? Want to have a quick wager?

I can take you to see that croc, he is called Brutus.

We were on GAF recently, when they found a new kind of animal in the northern Philippines. =)
Amazing croc, I'm gonna see that when it arrives in the zoo.

Why would someone bother to manipulate the picture so an already massive crocodile looks a bit larger?

 

[Donthizz#]

Glad they didn't kill the thing...

 

[Chuckie]

Why would someone bother to manipulate the picture so an already massive crocodile looks a bit larger?

Indeed. The original pic is already very very impressive... now its ruined because some cunt had to photoshop it.

 

[ResidentDante]

Why would someone bother to manipulate the picture so an already massive crocodile looks a bit larger?

Same thoughts I have, don't see the entertainment in manipulating a picture slightly, when the orginal clearly is really impressive.

 

[Melchiah]

Does anyone have a larger version of the original image? I tried to search it, but couldn't find it.

 

[astroturfing]

woah.

i've read that crocodiles basically don't age (or rather their cells don't), and that they just keep growing and growing until they die from size-related issues. any truth to this?

 

[Rewrite]

Man, those pictures are insane.

 

[Throavium]

Awesome.

 

[staticneuron]

Are they dragging it or are they letting it walk on its own?

It looks like they are letting it walk but I would have imagined its tail would still be a threat and even on land it should be pretty strong.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Fuck these goddamn dinosaurs!

Same reason why a 6 feet tall man would wear elevator shoes

 

[PetriP-TNT]

maybe the original is manipulated to look a bit smaller

Alligators and Crocodiles scare the shit out of me, so knowing there's something that big out there.....

[MrOogieBoogie]

Despite how big and scary crocodiles look, it's just amazing how submissive they become in the presence of even a single adult hippo.

Observe:

Even groups of crocodiles will allow a hippo to play with them/harass them just so they don't provoke it and make it angry.
