Not OT, a bloomin big crocodile- 29 feet.

[RJW NZ]

ok, its a bit OT, but its interesting and related to our field of interest .. and FYI, its thoroughly authenticated, search 'Krys the Savannah King'.

'This is a life size model of a 28'4" salt-water crocodile with a girth of 13' situated in the LEW Henry Park behind the Council Chambers. Krystina Pawloski, it made her a famous Crocodile Hunter in the Gulf region, shot the actual crocodile that "Krys" is modeled on, in 1957. She was only nineteen at the time nearly straight out of Poland, and she used an old army .303 cal.'

(crocs were open slaughter in Aus in 1957 to get rid of them, and were protected after the early 60's.)
