15 Abnormally Large Crocodiles That Actually Exist

We all love crocodiles. At least, from a distance we do. Because the last thing you want to do is get too close to one of these huge reptiles, who are known throughout the world for their incredible strength and power, as well as a large number of very sharp teeth. These are some of the greatest predators of all time, and they have more or less been around since the dinosaurs were here. Which goes to show just how successful they are, and how easily they can adapt. As long as there’s a murky pool and some other thirsty animals around, then crocodiles will always have enough to eat. And they love to eat - some of them more than others it seems, and these crocs have grown to huge sizes. From the saltwater giant to the Sri Lankan croc who got himself stuck because of his size, here’s 15 Abnormally Large Crocodiles That Actually Exist!

They killed Lolong by constantly draining his little pond so people could see him. They have to have water to float in to take there immense weight off there organs. Damn shame because he was so young. Another 50 years who knows how big he could have grown. 20ft 3 inches. Smh!!!

Who else is unexplainably fascinated by gigantic animals?

When they set traps for Lolong the traps were destroyed and the baits were eaten. They kept going with the same traps until they cought Lolong. One of the fishermans said this wasn't the croc that made the crimes. It was too small. Then another fisherman described the head of the crocodile that attacked his boat and it was twice as big as Lolong's head. Then another man that had lost a caw said there where two big crocodiles in the area. One is around 6 -7 m (Lolong) and the other - 12 m.
It makes perfect sense since all the traps were destroyed at the beginning. The steel noose was ripped 3 times in a row and the bait was gone. The possibility they cought the weaker crocodile that wasn't able to get out of the trap is real.
No wonder he was innocent as his stomach has confirmed.

I have seen Brutus, he’s actually been moved out of the Adelaide river now and resides just a few kilometres down the road. I’ve also Dominator and he’s one bad ass croc but I still love them and I’m actually visiting Brutus again in a couple of weeks, I’ll say Hi to him for ya

I'm a Filipino. We'd say here that every country has an abundance of something. The US has raccoons. Japan's got crows. Philippines? has crocodiles. Lots and lots and lots of crocodiles. Big ones too. You'll see them everywhere from the northern islands to the southern ones, in lakes, rivers, swamps and beaches. Such is their prevalence, you'll even see some in your local community, riding fancy cars, avoiding the poor and swimming in the national treasury.

Other countries: omg it's a huge croc we should capture it and make money out of it
Sri Lankans: omg it's a huge croc we should put it back in the water coz that's where it belong, eventhough it's very dangerous for the people .

I really thought Gustave the crocodile would be on here. He is estimated to measure at least 18ft and weigh more than 2000 pounds, making him around 100 years old. Hes also killed a ton of people. The wiki page said its rumoured that he's killed nearly 300 people. My husband's grandparents go to Queensland (we're in Australia) each winter and they have their caravan near an area with massive saltwater crocodiles like it's no big deal xD Straya

[hotsauce]

It's really cool seeing people living with these animals rather than killing them

[anadubar]

What?! No Gustave?! Any list is not complete if it does not include Gustave, the famous monster croc of Burundi.

I’m from 🇵🇭 and i’ve seen lolong in captivity.
He’s literally a huge crocodile, too big even for the camera of my phone. and i still believe the loval who saw that there was a bigger crocodile than lolong.

When I was 5, my dad and I were in a boat that was 20ft long.
We were out on a swamp down in Florida, and an Alligator swam next to us, that was longer than our boat.
When me and my dad tell people about it, everyone says "Gators don't get that long" but by god I swear to you it was.

[fallenejoski]

Lolong had the saddest story of all. It was so controversial that it became part of the history.

[mobysleon]

We're is Gustave, he is a Nile crocodile who allegedly killed over 300 people.While his exact length and weight is still unknown because he has not been captured, it was reported that he was easily at least 18 feet long and weighed more than 2000 Ibs

[lowkey]

Big ups to the Filipinos for catching and releasing them dinosaurs rather then killing them. You’ve earned my respect. Definitely going to visit the Philippines one day.

[Sharvena]

I just like how brave and confidence this crocodiles and alligators are

[FrescoStevens]

I’m glad we don’t have 50ft Crocs swimming around.. let me take a moment & thank the lord🙏🏾🤣

[michelledyer-long]

I have to say I do hate to see all of these reptiles in captivity. They should be in their natural habitat but at least if they are in captivity I hope it is a large enough area to where they can do the things that come natural to them.

[rajeevdudi]

There is no verified account of any crocodile bigger than lolong 6.17 mtrs, unfoortunately he also dies in captivity in 2015 in phillipines. anything above 6.17 is speculation with no evidence.
