Alligator and crocodile
1 Attachment(s)
Many of my American friends ask what the difference is between an alligator and crocodile. Firstly, alligators have rounded snouts compared to crocs and secondly crocs are a little bigger. This croc was shot in Zambia where they can be a bit of a pest, taking tribeswomen who do the washing in the local rivers.

Which is a mammal?
It was a toss up as to put it in the Fin or Fur section. Funnily enough, the tribesmen seldom make an effort to kill a killer croc because they believe witchcraft killed their wives and that sorcerers change themselves from people into crocs to kill people, so it is useless finding a croc and killing it.

Thanks for the pic. I've seen some pretty large crocs watching various safari videos (Zambia & Botswana are on the "bucket list"), but that is a serious old boy they got out of there. Did that one come out of the Luangwa?

It is a big croc....but....
It is a big croc....but.....once again scale.
As with Hogzilla and other pictures of giant animals anytime the people are set behind the animal - and it is in the foreground - it looks somewhat larger than it really is. Even having the first row of people only sitting 5 feet behind the beast would give it the appearance of being much larger. In this case a better picture would have had one of the locals laying down along it's back - or set the log on the back teeth and have a child sitting in the mouth. |

I'm speechless, I've never seen a reptile like that. In Florida I don't think even the everglades have alligators or crocs that large, maybe only about 12ft. at the largest. Sometimes they crawl into people's pools or try crossing the interstate, sometimes they even creep into the city. Would hate to walk outside and see that thing at an intersection :eek:
How many times did they have to shoot it? |
I think the people in this village haven't heard of photo-shopping,, YET.. :munchin
They just capture their crocs live and keep them as pets... :eek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQoedlOFwpk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGwFI5pSAEU http://saltyshores.com/wordpress/201...e-philippines/ |
