    Big Croc!

    Not sure if anyone has posted these pics here but i cant find them, i got these in an email from a mate along with the following story - its a shame to see it killed, theres probobly not that many at this size out there...

    ---------------------

    Taken last week at Borroloola (NT, Australia ). It measured 6.325 meters and weighed in at 1855 kilos. That's a big lizard! It started annoying one of the local Barramundi fisherman by eating the prop off his outboard. He reckons it was circling the 5 metre tinny (boat) for 20 minutes before the decision to kill it was made by him and a very frightened decky.

    big gecko... I dont doubt the 6m, but it is either 1855 pounds or 855kg... to be 1.8tonnes it would need to be more dense than steel? I believe 6m crocs max in at about a 1000kg, that old girl looks lean so either 855kg or 843kg (1855lb) would be reasonable.

    I want to see the youtube of two fishermen dragging it back to the boat ramp!!!

    It's a long-tailed, short-legged NQ cattle dog.

    its a bit of a waste really isnt it, if the pics are legit, your possibly looking at 50+ years old, shame.
