Massive prehistoric crocodile fossil found

I've seen National Geo films of those big crocs that prey on the Wildebeast migration. They estimate some of those at 25 feet. Some of them have jaws nearly as big as the Wildebeast. Make ya think twice about squatting by the river for a drink.What about the "supercroc" that was talked about a while back in paleo, that was gigantic wasn't it? Have to look it up.

Is that the video of the crocs leaping up and grabbing them by the neck? That was awesome. Would certainly spoil a riverside stroll if they nabbed you. lol

Awesome creatures. One snap from those jaws and WHAM! : bye-bye arm or leg. This prehistoric croc [below] was quite large too. It's called Sarcosuchus. These things weighed between 8 and 10 tons. He lived during the late Cretaceous period - 12,000,000 years ago - which is just aswell.

Great... I'm more afraid of rivers now. :-D

the australian saltwater crocodile is knowen to get to lengts of around 30 foot the bigest ever caught was 28foot

Right, the largest crocodiles today only get to about 23Ft... I really feel safer... I'd rather be around one of these than close to a modern Saltwater or Nile crocodile. Doesn't seem to be a tremendous difference between this croc and a Gharial. Even size wise, there was a Gharial caught in the 1930s that was recorded at 23 feet long. Of course Gharial, and likely this 25 foot prehistoric relative, have a jaw only suitable for catching insects, frogs and fish. Nothing to be afraid of here.

Blimey. Wouldn't want to meet one of them on a dark night!

Blimey. Wouldn't want to meet one of them on a dark night! Yeah... but any other time, would be just swell!

Something like that still exsists. They're is one video on youtube where a bunch of maylasians, or indonisians, can't tell where they're from, but theyres this croc about 25 feet they captured and i think they killed it. they put it on the back of a truck for all the on lookers to see. Look up "Worlds biggest Croc". Everyones going "Is this real?" lol

@StarGateAtlantis I think I found your Croc - He's escaped Indonesia and was last spotted somewhere in a California suburban neighborhood
