Croc-zilla: First picture of the 22ft-long monster that terrorised Australian community
5 Αυγούστου 2010
The story behind this incredible photo of a monster crocodile can now be revealed for the first time.
The beast was shot in a remote Aboriginal community in Australia’s Northern Territory back in 1997 and was the biggest of three saltwater crocodiles terrorising locals and attacking their cattle and goats.
It was killed in Manangoora, around 600 miles south west of Darwin, by Jeida Francis’s family after it started targeting their animals.
The remaining two crocodiles are thought to still be alive – and have grown to the same size as this gargantuan 22ft monster.
Jeida told the Northern Territory News: ‘It was massive. This one was getting nasty and too close. It was attacking our cattle.’
The crocodile weighed so much it took two powerful Toyota 4x4s to pull it from the Wearyan River.
The picture had been circulating on the internet for years before its origins were finally explained.
