WHAT I LIKED ABOUT GOMEK WAS THE FACT THAT THOSE WHO CAUGHT HIM ALIVE DID NOT SAY OH LOOK A REALLY LARGE IMPRESSIVE 'GATOR...LET'S SHOOT HIM AND MOUNT HIM ON THE WALL! LIKE THEY DO WITH SO MANY UNUSAL ANIMALS. THEY KEPT HIM ALIVE TO SHOW HIM TO ALL. IT IS A SHAME HE DIED OF A HEART ATTACK IN THE BOTTOM OF HIS TANK, I THINK THEY ALSO HAD TO SEPARATE HIM FROM OTHERS AS THE 8 TO 12 FOOTERS WERE DISAPPEARING FROM HIS ENCLOSURE.!
If some of you people think you know of a larger croc, post some proof. So far all I've seen are unsubstantiated claims. Gomek was on display for all to see. Gustave is just a legend. I can't find any proof of a 20+ foot croc in India, just claims. All you Aussie boasters, it should be easy enough to post some proof since you seem to claim that every other Salty is bigger than Gomek.
@TheMotorick A crocodile named Lolong was captured in the Philippines last September. National Geographic measured him at 20 feet and 3 inches. He weighs over 2,300 pounds. Making him the largest crocodile in captivity. And I wouldn't say that Gustave is "just" a legend. It's not as though he's never been photographed. Just never measured. But he's clearly huge.
@704CarolinaBlue704 Lolong is a proven fraud, just look at him next to the small philippine ppl (dwarf size) he cant even appear 15ft... Gomek appear much bigger especially way more massive just look the size of his neck and head, yet he is "only" 18ft compared to lolongs 20+ claim
@xismxist National Geographic measured Lolong. He is in fact 20 feet 3 inches. Lolong will be put in to the Guinness Book of World Records later this year as the longest Croc in captivity. Who should I believe? Someone on the internet who says that Lolong APPEARS smaller than 20 feet. Or should I believe the world renowned scientific/educational institute in National Geographic who MEASSURED Lolong at over 20ft. I'll take National Geographic's measurement over your assumption.
@704CarolinaBlue704 Ofcourse they did, imagine what a hit they are on then... and then guinness comes into the picture, thats where i know for a fact that lolong is no way near his claimed length - he's nothing else than a tourist attraction, BILLED 20+ ft. Its all about money and publicity. If you had some common sense left in your head then you should have realized that all of this have happend before - with the dog called "giant george" (he was measured to 43 inches at his NECK)
@704CarolinaBlue704 Newspapers and sites cant even get the scale graphics right, because they dont have a clue how big 20 ft really is. Its up to you if you wanna believe this crap, but when you use simple math you will realize that he is no way near 20 ft because like i said... ppl just cant imagine how freakin huge that is and neither can you, obviously. Only because newspapers and sites says something it doesnt mean its true
@xismxist Nice conspiracy theory you have going there. Do you even have a clue who National Geographic is? Nat Geo is not your ordinary newspaper or site. They sent their own team to the Philippines to confirm the actual size of Lolong after hearing conflicting reports. Nat Geo has a great amount of credibility. You, however, have nothing outside of assumptions.
@704CarolinaBlue704 I have atleast an eye and a braincell, which is all it takes to bust a fraud! you however, havent! what part of "Ofcourse they did, imagine what a hit they are on then" did you not understand? ofcourse they want to be a part of the record (wrongly set) so ofcourse they send a team there, but where are the independent verifications?
@xismxist Maybe because Nat Geo is well respected and trusted? An independent verifier is not going to travel all the way to the Philippines just to measure Lolong when his size has already been verified by Nat Geo. Oh, but I forgot. Lolong doesn't appear to be 20 ft on your computer screen. You've studied his pics/vids from all angles. That must mean Nat Geo is lying... Strong argument.
National Geographic has credibility, you have conspiracy theories.
@704CarolinaBlue704 yes it does, thats how it works! a claim which has no independent verifications should never be taken seriously no matter from who it comes, so no, they cannot be respected and trusted
@704CarolinaBlue704 If this fraud is anywhere NEAR 20ft then the philippine ppl next to him is 7-8ft tall... deal with that too! common sense works best
I remember going to the Alligator Farm for field trips and stuff. I have a picture of me in Kindergarten with him in the background and he looked so massive next to my little 5 year old self. I'm now taking my own son, 18 months, to visit the alligator farm on Sunday and they have Gomek on display in his own area like a monument. It will be so awesome to get a picture with him as well. Now they have Maximo, but he isn't nearly as big as Gomek! Long Live Gomek!

Myth is bigger? Hell that animal is big enough. I mean look at it, its a fucking dinosaur. If you saw that in real life you'd shit your pants. i would.
Gustav is over average for NILE crocodiles. Salt Water Crocodiles get to around 20-22 feet where as Niles get up to around 16-18 feet. Gustav is 20-21 feet. The movie Primeval is not a documentary but a horror film made because of the locals' legend of him devouring 300 houndred people and occasionally leaving corpses unfinished (which is bull shit. Niles don't do that). Anyways, Gustave isn't any bigger than a normal Salt Water Crocodile. Myth is bigger than the actual animal.
your retarded that croc is anywhere from 17 to 20 ft im sorry gustav would not be 34 to 40 ft long im sorry and that croc probably weighs 1500 pounds im sorry gustav wouldnt be 12000 pounds. im sorry kid STFU
yeah a hippos length would be 8 to 11 ft so thats not hard to out length but the bulk of the hippo is under water. and gustave arches his back to show how big he is to them. and there is no way he weighs 3-4 tons lol all im saying that he is not 2x the size of gomek and 8x heavier than him
I remember when we first got Gomek I was pretty young and he scared the shit out of me. I seem to remember him being a lot bigger but I guess everything's bigger when you're a kid.
Hey I too grew up near St Augustine. I remember that too! I like how they use the thick glass down below to make him appear bigger! But although he is stuffed now, I still would'nt call him tiny! LOL!
Steve Erwin did a programe about the largest wild salt water crocs, If you can find it anywhere online i would definately recommend watching it, the croc on this vid is big but believe me when i say Erwin came bigger! one of the in particular was more like a dinosaur!!!
I grew up here in St Augustine and Gomec was a part of my life for years. I never got tired of going to the Alligator farm to see him. later in life, just before he died, all he did pretty much was sit on the bottom of his tank and rarely moved. You could go down and see him thru a window. The morning he died they went to feed him and he did'nt come up, so they drained the tank and drugged him. The Dr checked him and he was gone. He is now stuffed and on display. 17'8 long and over 1800lbs!
Yeah, he was. Only kinda different. Kinda with huge teeth and 2500 PSI of crushing power. 17 feet 8 inches long and over 1800 pounds, and slimy and scaley, but other than that, just like a puppy dog.
Has anyone actually measured Gustave? History has shown that people exagerate the size of any fierce animal. Until you measure with witnesses that are unemotional and scientific, you can't confirm any claims on size. Yai is the largest croc confirmed by Guiness book of world records.
Would you honestly want to get that close to Gustave after he's, allegedly, killed and eaten over 300 people? And the largest croc in the world, according to the Guinness Book, is a croc in the Bhitarkanika Wildlife reserve, named Baula Kumbhira, that measured 7.1 meters(25.3 feet)when it was entered into the record book in 2006. Yai was only 6 meters(19 feet) when he died, Baula is still alive and growing. And according to reports, he beats Gustave in size, if only a little.
according to wikipedia -"The largest living crocodile known is a 7.1 m (25.3 ft) long saltwater crocodile, in Orissa, India. It lives in Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary and in June 2006, was entered in the Guinness Book of World Records"
Yeah-i bet he is a beast-only i think its bullshit bc you cant find any pictures of a croc that big and there are many hoaxes. I don't think that there is a croc longer than 18 feet alive after reading the book "crocodile attack" it has some very convincing arguments about how big they get, and the so called world records have absolutley NO PROOF to back up their claims.
Yeah I guess you're right. Besides to measure a 25 feet beast properly they'd probably have to kill it first; I mean, 25 feet it would probably weigh close to 2500 pounds or something haha; must be better than a Lamboghini to show off. A 25 feet Nile crocodile in your garden; 25 !! To my knowledge there has been proof of 20-21 feet beasts in the past, dead. Which is absolutely gigantic. You could never imagine how big it actually was if you didn't see it from up close. Anything + 12 feet.
Yeah-i've sen that video. Nobody has ever meseaured that crocodile. I bet it is less than 17.5ft. If you do a google search on 21ft crocodile found in New orleans, you will see a hoax of an actual 16.5ft croc that was really caught in the republic of congo. That croc looks the same size as "Gustave"-in the youtube vid. I think the gene for crocs to get 19-20ft has been killed of-unfortunately.
Since when is Gustave dead? Gomek died a number of years ago, but he was a rather tame beast for his species and size. He was 17'10" long when he died.
Gustave is dead, just because they made a stupid movie about him, everyone thinks he's the super croc and legendary, that's hollywood for ya. Gomek was not tame before he was captured. He just became a typical American, fat and lazy. haha
he has been seen, even recorded killing fishermen, so yes he is alive, and yes he is a legend, because he has survived impossible. and yes salty are bigger, but gustave is so big the today is there only one croc in the world who is bigger, and that the giant 7 meter salty.
It is a large rat from South America called a Nutria. The tail on this one has been cut short, but they normally have very long rat-like tails. The nutria have been introduced into the Southern United states and they destroy wetlands. Trappers skin them in the field and we get what is left over. The pelts are a lot like beaver.
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT GOMEK WAS THE FACT THAT THOSE WHO CAUGHT HIM ALIVE DID NOT SAY OH LOOK A REALLY LARGE IMPRESSIVE 'GATOR...LET'S SHOOT HIM AND MOUNT HIM ON THE WALL! LIKE THEY DO WITH SO MANY UNUSAL ANIMALS. THEY KEPT HIM ALIVE TO SHOW HIM TO ALL. IT IS A SHAME HE DIED OF A HEART ATTACK IN THE BOTTOM OF HIS TANK, I THINK THEY ALSO HAD TO SEPARATE HIM FROM OTHERS AS THE 8 TO 12 FOOTERS WERE DISAPPEARING FROM HIS ENCLOSURE.!

This croc is 5.48 meters long. When Gomek passed away he was 5.42 ... not a huge difference lol but a bit bigger :)

Gustave really exist?
cuichao14 3 years ago
Has anyone actually measured Gustave? History has shown that people exagerate the size of any fierce animal. Until you measure with witnesses that are unemotional and scientific, you can't confirm any claims on size. Yai is the largest croc confirmed by Guiness book of world records.

they say gustave is 20 feet long and 2,000 pounds...thats what i have read any ways

Would you honestly want to get that close to Gustave after he's, allegedly, killed and eaten over 300 people? And the largest croc in the world, according to the Guinness Book, is a croc in the Bhitarkanika Wildlife reserve, named Baula Kumbhira, that measured 7.1 meters(25.3 feet)when it was entered into the record book in 2006. Yai was only 6 meters(19 feet) when he died, Baula is still alive and growing. And according to reports, he beats Gustave in size, if only a little.

according to wikipedia -"The largest living crocodile known is a 7.1 m (25.3 ft) long saltwater crocodile, in Orissa, India. It lives in Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary and in June 2006, was entered in the Guinness Book of World Records"

25 feet haha; that's the same difference as a 10 footer compared to a 17 footer. Damn he must be scary.
DeadGirlsDontSayNooo 3 years ago
Yeah-i bet he is a beast-only i think its bullshit bc you cant find any pictures of a croc that big and there are many hoaxes. I don't think that there is a croc longer than 18 feet alive after reading the book "crocodile attack" it has some very convincing arguments about how big they get, and the so called world records have absolutley NO PROOF to back up their claims.
stevekennyufc 3 years ago
Yeah I guess you're right. Besides to measure a 25 feet beast properly they'd probably have to kill it first; I mean, 25 feet it would probably weigh close to 2500 pounds or something haha; must be better than a Lamboghini to show off. A 25 feet Nile crocodile in your garden; 25 !! To my knowledge there has been proof of 20-21 feet beasts in the past, dead. Which is absolutely gigantic. You could never imagine how big it actually was if you didn't see it from up close. Anything + 12 feet.

Well, There is Gustave in the Burundi region of Africa. Its on you tube- Giant crocodile of Burundi. 25'
sidewaysonhighways 3 years ago
Yeah-i've sen that video. Nobody has ever meseaured that crocodile. I bet it is less than 17.5ft. If you do a google search on 21ft crocodile found in New orleans, you will see a hoax of an actual 16.5ft croc that was really caught in the republic of congo. That croc looks the same size as "Gustave"-in the youtube vid. I think the gene for crocs to get 19-20ft has been killed of-unfortunately.

You think this croc is comparable to Gustav the legendary giant croc from Africa?
ponnabs 4 years ago
Gustave is dead, and Nile crocs don't grow as large as Saltwater crocs. The Saltwater Croc is the king of all crocs.

Since when is Gustave dead? Gomek died a number of years ago, but he was a rather tame beast for his species and size. He was 17'10" long when he died.

Gustave isnt dead
DevillSin21 4 years ago 2
Gustave is dead, just because they made a stupid movie about him, everyone thinks he's the super croc and legendary, that's hollywood for ya. Gomek was not tame before he was captured. He just became a typical American, fat and lazy. haha
dbl2006 4 years ago
gustave still alive and kicking get your facts straight
DevillSin21 4 years ago 2
i know its 1 month ago, but gustave aint dead.
he has been seen, even recorded killing fishermen, so yes he is alive, and yes he is a legend, because he has survived impossible. and yes salty are bigger, but gustave is so big the today is there only one croc in the world who is bigger, and that the giant 7 meter salty.

bobbydigital20g 4 years ago
Thats exactly what I said. Pre-fed nutria, which is found in South America.
CsalbertCs 4 years ago
I don't really know what "pre-fed" means. They were not fed to anything before the crocodile.
Zooguy2 4 years ago
That's not a rat. That's not a rat's tail.
opiate9 4 years ago
It is a large rat from South America called a Nutria. The tail on this one has been cut short, but they normally have very long rat-like tails. The nutria have been introduced into the Southern United states and they destroy wetlands. Trappers skin them in the field and we get what is left over. The pelts are a lot like beaver.
