That's not a croc...THIS is a croc...

[BoomerD]

Lots of debate as to whether this is real or not...but if so, that's a BIG fucking crocodile...(although apparently not record size)

Brutus, who is apparently a popular tourist attraction on the Adelaide River, is 80- years old and lost his fourth leg during a fight with a shark in the river’s estuary.

Now that's a badass reptile.

Yeah... from that perspective his head is about 6' long.

Can you tell by the pixels, and from having seen quite a few shops in your time?

Thought this was about neckhole.....

That could eat hogzila in one bite

Looks like its missing a leg. How bad ass can you be with one arm?

indeed! The lookers left side of the croc looks unusually dark

Does anyone really think a croc that size could get that far out of the water fast enough so no one is looking at him?

Everyone is looking at him.

Salt-water crocs can get really big.

Everyone is looking at him.

Guess you're looking at a different picture than I am. The stern man is looking past him. The two passengers in back are looking ahead of him as is the standing guy with a camera. The guy leaning back has his head tilted back looking at something to the left and past the croc. Not saying this situation couldn't happen, just sayin' it was awful fortuitous that the only one looking directly at the croc is the one who took the picture.

A crocodile in northern Australia chased a storm-clearance worker up a tree and made off with his chainsaw, BBC reported last Friday. The worker was clearing a tree that fell on the crocodile enclosure at the Corroboree Park Tavern, 50 miles east of the northern city of Darwin.

The 14.5-foot croc, called "Brutus," jumped from the water and sped 20 ft. to the tree, chewed on the chainsaw for 90 minutes, and thus reduced it to pieces. "It was still going and he took the chainsaw onto the ground and proceeded to smash it and it stalled," said Peter Shappert, the tavern's owner. "The crocodile didn't cut himself, just broke a few teeth."

The saw was destroyed.

OK, so recap of key points here: 1) a speedy, 14.5-foot saltwater crocodile, 2) called Brutus, 3) with a chainsaw.

Am I the only one who senses Hollywood gold here?

clearly a photoshop job - the croc would not miss the bait by that much, and although SW crocs get very large - they don't get that large

one ugly croc

Looks totally shopped. The water wave the croc is making would be splashing on the side of the boat, but in the pic it looks like the boat is hovering above it. And like the other guy said, the croc wouldn't miss at the stick like that.

bad shop... no water whatsoever anywhere on the croc or dripping off it, like it was being lowered into the water.
EDIT: I stand corrected. Still looks fake as hell to me and not because of the size.

 

[DrPizza]

Uhh, if it just stuck its head up out of the water, shouldn't it be wet? Shouldn't there be some sign of water drops coming from the head?
