Just how big do people estimate this crocodile to be (picture posted by Spudboy)? The cited figures (15-16 feet) don't seem correct to me.

I think the people are a fair way behind the wall, making the croc look bigger than it actually is.
Big legs on it though :eek:
An Indo-pacific crocodile 28 feet 4 inches long was shot on the MacArthur Bank of the Norman River, Queensland, Australia by Mrs Kris Powloski in 1957. Kris' husband Ron was a recognised crocodile expert and measured the body.
Sightings of giants like this persist in remote parts of Asia and Australia. The African Nile crocodile is said to approach these sizes as well. One mammoth individual in Burundi is over 23 feet long.
It is very well possible that it was 28 feet long, but the largest in the world currently is a 23 footer in the Bhitarkanika National Park in the Orissa state of India.
they can get big
