An adult could easily fit inside the jaws of this thing! And many tourists do just that when the lie next to this Crocodile replica.

Other interesting Crocodile Facts about the Crocodile:

The name of this Crocodile is Krys – named after the woman who shot him in 1957 (see more about the story here).
It’s estimated that this beast weight around 2 metric tonnes – enough for a big croc barbeque.

Ironically, the person who shot him went on the champion the cause of crocodile conservation.

I wouldn’t want to come across a Crocodile this big anywhere, even if it was located behind some maximum security bars!

Crocodile is one of only a few animals that are famous for their bite power. A crocodile can bite anything with a force equal to 5000 lb per sq. inch or even more.
