NATURE | Supersize Crocs | Measuring a Giant Crocodile | PBS

[nastymonsters2]

bullshit not even close ...its not giant at all..

[UltraShaikan]

Its not the longest and biggest croc

[TheMsmith77]

I heard from a guy that went to Cairo, and he stated that Gustave is dead and on display in a Cairo museum. Im like damn, that Gustave was hundreds of years old to get that size, plus eating humans, and our diets are retarded, so he probably would not have stopped growing. I would not want to see an alligator, croc, a gar nothing that size. Does anyone know for sure if Gustave is really dead? I know the subject was the croc, but am just wondering. Someone hit me up.

[Pie22z44]

A croc called krys is 28feet and 4 inches

[Pie22z44]

Krys was 28ft 4in

[dltanner99]

Cryptozoology novel see video book trailer

[XXplaythegamesXX]

the german metric is : 30 cm is one foot,so 6 foot is 180cm.

[budfr]

how muchis 16 ft in meters??

[ollie082]

Oh its only a tiny one..... Saltwater Crocs grow to be true Crocs. Largest on record in australia is around 22 feet.

[xismxist]

@ollie082 honestly i think gustave would be bigger than that saltie

[BroomeBlocker4]

@ollie082 It may not be the biggest, not by a long shot, but a 16 metre croc is still a respectable size, not a tiny croc even by saltwater standards

[Kartl1an]

what a nice job

[stevew10051970]

Respond to this video...

[nanaltabano]

HEY YANINNEVECHEN UR A PERFECTIONIST BUT U SAID THAT 6 FT IS 183 CM.. NO... TO BE EXACT BOY 6 FT. IS 182.88 CM...

[nickrock6]

1:14 Strange wilderness OOOOOOOOA HAHAHAHAHAHA OUAAAAAAAA HAHAHAAHHAAH

[lordabomity]

Almost 5 meters of croc.. damn =D

[jeffhardy2298]

@lordabomity if you think this croc is big you should definately check out Gustave the croc he is 20ft ( 6.1m ) he makes this croc look so tiny.

[ollie082]

@jeffhardy2298 Yeah Gustave was a massive croc but was a nile crocodile. Estuarine crocs do get bigger. I've read Gustave was a true man eater. He got the taste for humans during the civil war in africa and after that his main diet was people. Its a scary thought esecially the way they describe the way he would stalk them. Gives me chills..

[coby965214]

I like the saltwater crocodile.

[47lionking]

what is that crocodile

[XXplaythegamesXX]

1 foot = 30cm !!!!! ask youtube,and learn moore....hehehe

[daindabain]

@XXplaythegamesXX a foot (12 inches) is not exactly 30cm but yeh there or there abouts.

[femanvate]

Garials are long, but not dangerous. They are shy and will never attack a human, even cats and dogs are safe..Salties are huge, but dont target humans.The Nile Crocodile of Africa is the only croc that will ALWAYS attack people. Any Nile croc over 10ft wants to eat you, and will, if given the chance. They are also the smartest, and in some places have learned how to launch themselves onto small boats to sink them and eat the fish/fishermen that they carry.

[88hammond88]

@femanvate It's refreshing to learn something from a youtube comment.

[gottaLOVEBrazJJ]

they got a 18feet in the Philippines, still living.

[marccanalsduarri]

FCB

[boyzinyourclub]

thats one fkn huge crocdile altho i have seen bigger ones but nice find!

[simmogoliathmaximo]

You people must understand that the largest scientifically accepted crocodile was 21 feet. That does not mean crocs in excess of 25 never did exist it is just we dont havehard evidence for them. In this case 16 feet is not quite a giant but is a monster.

[MsWisteriaRose]

omg!! 16 feet ?!!

[wgseagal]

nuts

[rexregum]

there was an incident in my local zoo where this zoo worker wanted to commit suicide and he entered the gharial exibit? the crocs pretty much ignored him and he then decided to enter the white tiger exibit, where they did kill him.

[dazzaboy04]

yeh and if i was you i would change the way u lie on that bank! a croc could leap ouuta the water at u!

[LordEli]

Nah that particular species of cros wouldn't attack a human being deliberated as a food item for one, look at his snout he's soley a fish eater and small prey. While he could hurt you with his teeth yeah. I don't think he's capable of destroying you less given conditions of were his teeth manage to land. might attack out of self defense or protecting young. but you definately wouldn't be considered a prey item.

[canimo77]

boooooooooooorin

[Kaity11]

I love this show :D!

[superdave31]

im surpsied he jsut went and led on the bank when itw as right there!

[yanivnevechen]

6 feet is 183cm not 180cm :)

Petty Pat

[thisisjaykay]

You are genius !!!

[TheWarmLittleCentre]

yeah, americans aren't to good with the metric system

[mapleleaveskill]

@yanivnevechen u just said 6 feet is 183 cm, not 183 cm, u ment inches buddy

[lordswit6666]

@yanivnevechen im sorry sir but i have to disagree.. 1ft=30 cms..

30 cmx6=180cm...

correct me if i am wrong sir?

[yanivnevechen]

@lordswit6666

Dear Sir, one foot is actually 30.5 cm not 30 cm :)

I say good day!

[drav1dan]

Rom Whittaker has lived in India for so long that he now has a little bit of an Indian accent.

[00Toon]

Check out Gustave. He's a living legend, a man eater, and said to be the largest croc ever caught on camera. The last documentary on Gustave I watched claimed that there are 0 crocodile attacks on humans since his disappearence, and the locals claim over 300 lives lost to Gustave. it can't be true, though they estimate he's around 65 years old.

[KorukLanut]

fr ur info, in malaysia, the local caught some crocs over 25ft in lengh ..meanwhile in vietnam, giant croc as long as 28-30ft could be found in the mekong river..n dis is true..

[leadsolo]

Just curious, when was this ? The largest one at Jong's Croc Farm is just about 17ft plus - The Bujang Senang maneater was 19ft 3in - But the other one (Bujang Seterap) which is still at large is possibly much larger. But being over 25ft ? Wow, i must know ...

[Kirlian196]

To my knowledge there is no (hard) evidence supporting living Saltwater Crocs in excess of 17 feet. Gustave...that's a different matter, Nile croc

[varanid8]

I believe saltwater crocs are on the average a good bit larger than nile crocs. I've always heard of saltwater crocs in excess of 25 ft. Hard evidence? It depends on what you consider it to be. Current size estimates require certain conditions which cannot be ascertained for most older estimates, however, there is reason to believe that as habitat diminishes, there have been fewer and fewer of the truly large specimens.

[rolfey13]

A saltwater crocodile was caught in Australia about 8 months ago. They said it was something like 18.6ft long.

[KorukLanut]

thats an average size croc. if it is over 20ft then i would call it a giant croc.

[forecrow]

16 ft hardly giant

[Zane506]

ouu u must be 4ft high 12 feet wide eh?

[CelticTalk1]

for a freshwater croc, it's around twice the average size. It's not the giant saltwater which can be over 20ft

[Gomanzied]

lol the croc and take advantge and pull in the water

[450hp202turbo]

In July 1957, Krys, an attractive blonde Polish immigrant then aged 30, killed Australia's biggest known crocodile with a single shot on the banks of the Norman River near the Gulf of Carpentaria town of Normanton. The saltwater crocodile measured 8.63m, a size unheard of in Australia

[Tigrex1995]

Thats terrible! :(

[xismxist]

any real footage of that beast?

[curioz28]

what would be worse than being pulled into the water by something big like a croc ?having your limbs ripped off one by one then having your torso stuffed away under water for a few weeks then having that be eaten ouch!!

[13beastoz]

maxbe piranhas xD

[askAlanNow]

Good Eating :D.

[halistall07]

all yall shut up lets just listen to some white room by cream :)

[hippocampuszosterae]

Sunshine of your love is also great

[matrags]

Badge :)

[amelba06]

when will someone get eaten by a croc

[shadowslider11]

They cant put that on youtube....though it would be kinda funny....morbid.....but funny....

[Steolicious]

hm, I think to swim in wildwater is overrated...

[corndogers564]

I would have fell asleep lying down on that sand, so I would never risk it

[Arcticclaws]

Actually 6 feet is 183 cms so he's about 5'11".

[mrdawgy]

gustav is still one of the biggest

[chrisredfield4]

one of the biggest? he's the biggest and fattest bastard to ever live!

[Rawesyn]

Maybe in our time, back in the dinosaur age there was a rumored 50 footer

[Farooq87]

No in Africa he is the biggest, in the world he is not. Gustav measures at 6.8 metres, there are Crocs in east India measuring 7 metres or more....source wiki/Guinness book of world records............ lol

[billjesusgates]

please use feet/foot instead of meters.

[blackeye240]

gustavs 22 feet there r a few in asia that r about 25 feet

[450hp202turbo]

In July 1957, Krys, an attractive blonde Polish immigrant then aged 30, killed Australia's biggest known crocodile with a single shot on the banks of the Norman River near the Gulf of Carpentaria town of Normanton. The saltwater crocodile measured 8.63m,28.4 FEET a size unheard of in Australia

[xismxist]

gustave is even bigger

[microdasher]

gustave is huge

[fallenwarriorX1X]

gustav! FTW! :)

[xismxist]

same crap of book that says gibson are the worlds tallest dog... laughable!!

[blackwing2thedragon]

Meh, it might be big, but it would be dinner for the 28 footer they found in australia... but the one they found there was a croc, not a caiman, so that might add to the crocs unfair advantage.

[jattered]

they're afraid of cheese cakes too. don't forget to bring one.

[UncleDomesticAsshoIe]

ROGUE

[rockgor]

Gharials are fish eaters w/ long narrow jaws.  Not a danger to people. Like so many animals, their future is very uncertain.

[gatergetter]

your a smart one

[EDR81]

thats cool and scary

[kambingbetula]

he can easily use ruler or tape to measure..

[pcursil]

is he trying to be a croc macD? mate he is nuts

[popojajaXD]

wow

[Davidovar34]

Nice measuring method. The crododile is a Gavial I think.

[WindWolfAlpha]

You are right. that's a Gharial.

[eliotreader]

That dude is out of his mind.....

[wlsjoh013]

Nice idea, but not really effective if the croc was resting in a C shape, or slightly curved... Im sure it would work if you were lucky enough to find a situation such as the above...but I'd bet that most of the time, this wouldnt work.

[Brittany19906]

thats a big croc!

O_o

[lhr1967]

AMAZING

[Ninearm]

CRICKY (said like Steve Irwin)

That made me fall down, and fart so hard it propelled me slightly backwards.

[jolly113]

lol. don't lie down!

[EvieFl]

OMG thought he was lying down not to be measured, but as bait, lol.

[xendingo]

damn big croc....

[RideWitCarlos]

Look up Gustav, largest croc in the world. Credited for 300 kills.

[StarsOfDawn]

WOW! thats amazing! whats speices was that?

[stravello]

gharial

[thegallery]

cute but not very accurate as lying down he could be very different "height". They should have just placed a known-size solid object, like a tripod, and done the same thing.

[JonnyNice]

haha, you're absolutely right :)

[jamoyology]

i love watching crocs in discovery and geographic channels. :)

[zoemayne]

clever I'm impressed.

[GotThatPMA]

LOL 2 Rons dont make a right....good show !

[Energyium]

wow
