Did you see the World’s Biggest Gator?!
You call that a croc? This is a croc...
G’day Travellers,
Did you hear that in Mississippi this week they found the biggest alligator ever?!??! Look at it:
Isn’t that cute? It looks like it’s saying “cheese.”
This is the biggest gator they’ve ever found in America and it’s 4.3 metres long.
That’s absolutely pathetic.
Can I remind you all of the largest ever crocodile found in Australia.
You call that a croc? This is a croc…
In 1957, Krys the Croc measured in at 8.6 metres so it’s literally double the size of America’s poxy “mega gator”.
Here’s a life-size recreation of Krys:
Absolutely terrifying.
I heard a really terrifying but also hilarious story about a local croc recently. Before the Kimberley town of Broome was very populated, Malcolm Douglas’ crocodile farm was located in what’s now a bustling housing estate. It's right in downtown Cable Beach across the road from the deluxe Cable Beach Club.
When they moved the croc park out of town some years ago, they left behind five mated pairs of crocodiles in the park because they were too big to move.
Yeah, they were too heavy so they just left those man-eating animals right in the middle of a now ritzy prime real estate suburb, right next door to a pub, where people get hell pissed:
Over the years, there had been the odd complaint from posh residents in the area that they’d found baby crocodiles in their pools and garden ponds. All fingers were pointing at the croc park. But they denied it had anything to do with them.
So the legend goes: One day, representatives from the council went to the old croc park to inspect it and the fences and enclosures. Someone from the park was there saying, “Yes sir, no sir, three bags full, sir – yes, as you can see the crocs breed in their enclosures and we take the eggs away to hatch elsewhere, there’s absolutely no chance that a baby croc could escape and make it into those nearby houses over there. Absolutely no chance.”
It was at that exact moment that a Bin Chicken Ibis swooped down into an enclosure, rummaged around in some leaves and picked up – you guessed it – a baby croc in its beak. It then took off and started flying away, with the croc in beak, as everyone from the council stared on agog.
A few moments later, they watched helplessly when the Ibis dropped the baby crocodile right above a nearby house, where we assume it took refuge in a nice pond. It would then hide there and feed on frogs for years, until it became big enough to have a crack at a dog or small child.
So yeah, your gators are real cute, ’Merica, real cute. Do they kiss you on the tooshie when they get in your toilets?
Awww come on that is so cute. Gators look so happy!
