Pack of lies, saltiness do not stay in saltwater, they dont get big by eating people. NOT EVEN 2 A YEAR IN AUSTRALIA! FACT, we swim with everything, not bothered. Dolphins Porpoises are seriously dead ylñ ,pre than sharks. Making a fool of dumbbells especially Rogan, but znyone battling big wavescis insane. Assure way to get hurt or die, square meter is a metric ton, you cannot swim in those bone breakers, drowners. Salt water is clear, baramundi is as boring as Tilapia, poop eater. Terrrible nonsense!
Its a thousand metres thats pretty far. You could never make an accurate size assessment from that distance. I'd be amazed it any given circumstance you'd even see a crocodile from that distance they're not even that easy to spot from 100m away. Sounds like total bs tbh.
No different than estimating the size of a planet or star from earth. That’s just one kilometer you can get a pretty rough size estimate based on that.
Just imagine if the ancient crocodilians were still around that even our human ancestors had to deal with🤯🤯🤯 the missing persons reports around rivers, lakes, and oceans would be large amount
To bad no one’s ever been to space. NASA just admitted that. So did most asto nots. No evidence of space other than computer renderings. Weird how we get lied to everyday and no one cares. Sheep
@@markus7166 in 1823 a saltwater croc measuring 27 feet was killed in the Philippines And that's also not even mentioning the speculative Queensland croc that was 30 ft in length Crocs eating giant animals and humans can get enormous you'd be a fool to assume they couldn't get bigger than 20 ft
Its been stated that there are Salties that can grow just over 30 foot moving in and out of Asian and Australia....28 foot could be medium size which is the scariest thing cause Australia has stopped culling crocs 3 to 4 decades ago cause we almost whipped them out duento crocs killing humans and farmers live stocks. So its 3 to 4 decades later since the cullings....28 foot is probably medium. Mind the waters up tip of Australia and take notice of yellow croc warning signs. A rule of law is that Billabongs and water holes in land have crocs in it, as crocs can live in both Salt and Fresh Water. Dont just jump in cause you might not resurface.
I knew a Marine who was stationed for a while in Australia at the end of WW2. He said they would take a landing craft out to the fleet anchored in the harbor to pick up their mail. They had to station a Marine with a BAR on the boat along with the driver because the salt-water crocs would attack the boat.
@soscobra Funny guy. On the off chance you are truly unfamiliar with the acronym...BAR = Browning Automatic Rifle, a light machine gun, forerunner of the M60 light machine gun. 😀
I saw and touched a 14ft dead salt water Croc in Northern Australia. It was floating on it's back and had a bite out of it by a Croc that was about twice the size bite as the dead one. Obviously a territorial attack. There is a 20 footer around this area too but the bite size was bigger. We are always careful around the top end because things grow bigger than anywhere else. Saw a hammerhead shark up close bigger than our fishing boat Our boat was 16 ft. Got quite a number of 1 meter plus barramundi. The bigger the crocs the more elusive they are and the older they are. They are very intelligent and experienced. It's very hard to spot them unless they want you to see them.
That’s terrifying to think about. When they want you to see them. I would imagine that by the time you see them it’s probably too late to do anything about it.
@@odinsbeard1117 had a 18ft get too Agressive in a small creek and went under our small boat and sat just over an arms length beside us. We moved away quickly. Friend had one try and get in boat and had to fight it back with an oar. Had a 16ft grab my barramundi off my line whilst fishing and hit him in the head with my fishing rod.
@@bensomer4966 Yes they are very dangerous. Even a small 7ft Croc wanted to follow and attack. They are very wild and very Agressive around the Tiwi Islands and the Kimberley is Region. Even the fish are Agressive. I was catching fish without any bait on the hook and the mere splash of the hook and tackle in the water they attacked and got hooked. You don't want to fall in. Sharks are in abundance and very large ones too.
Crocs were shot to only a few thousand remaining until protected in the 1970's. The little ones have had 50 years to grow, there will be a few giants amongst them. North Australia has very few people living there, the rivers are silty, plenty places for the giants to hide.
To be fair, could be he saw it with a set of binoculars (or whatever). With a good set, it's not impossible to gauge its size. Of course, IF the guy really saw it.
Exactly. If it was actually 28ft long it would be the biggest one ever. But no one in their right mind is going to accept this just because Mr Hawkeye here estimated the length of the animal just by looking at it from a Kilometre away.
Naaah... Gorilla, tiger & grizzly. That would make Joe growl and roar into the mic for 5min. at least! And God knows what would be goin' on under the table...
I went to a croc farm in Aussie and during feeding time 2 went for same piece of meat and when 1 got it the other decided to bite the others jaw then preceded to squeeze so hard that you could hear the bones snapping. The one getting bit didn't even flinch lol
My wife and I were staying in a guesthouse in Siam Reap Cambodia. Our room was on the second floor and looked down on a swimming pool in the guest house next door. The pool was a 20 foot long pool and inside the pool was a crocodile that took up the entire length of the pool, nose to tail. I have never seen an animal so big and prehistoric looking; it was easily 18-20 feet long with an abdomen of at least 6-7 feet wide. It was awesome in the sense that I was in awe of how massive it was...
I am convinced early sailors who drew dragons with large teeth was because they saw these guys in the water. They move between Australia and Indonesia and the Philippines.
So, Ron and Krys Kowalski in 1967 were professional croc hunters in Australia, before the craze of croc/alligator hides in fashion became popular. Nobody had hunted crocs in Australia for any reasons at that time, and there were huuuuge crocs found and measured. The largest they killed and taped was 8.7 meters, which is 27ft-4in. A 16ft croc, standing to walk, will stand to the height of a grown 6ft man's waist. So that 27 footer would have been to the middle of his chest, and probably 4 to 5 feet wide, with a skull probably 5ft long as well. A nightmare for sure. Crocs and alligators continue to grow as long as they're alive, and a 27+ footer likely saw two centuries pass.
The Kowalski croc was removed from the Guinness world records due to lack of evidence Realistically the Kowalskis where crocodile shooters for a living, to think they shot the largest crocodile ever recorded (and largest by over 2m) and didn’t take any physical evidence is pretty far fetched It’s like a fisherman catching a world record and just letting it go without keeping it or even showing anyone
They say the longest anaconda is like 25-30 feet right? Now imagine a damn 28 ft saltwater crocodile… that’s literally a dinosaur ain’t no way that’s insane
I saw Gomek once when he was alive at Marine Land in St. Augustine. He was only 18 feet and weighted around 2000 pounds. Gomek was a saltwater crock from New Guinea. I sold the alloy fasteners that held the panels on his tank.
There is a place at the top of NT Australia called the 'Crocodile group of Islands'. But I bet he was fishing in the Daly River, Northern Territory Australia.. However, the largest Crocodile in captivity is located on Green Island, Cairns, Queensland Australia
Man, idiots in here doubting a croc that is 28 feet can exist. A croc at 28 feet was already caught and killed more than half a century ago in Australia. It’s inevitable that a few saltwater crocs can hit close to 30 ft. Just like a few men are 7.5 feet tall.
Thats just factually wrong. The Croc I believe you are speaking of can't be confirmed in size. If we look at that famous picture we can see it's forced perspective making the animal appear so large. The largest ever Croc recorded was around 23 feet long. That's still a 2000 pound animal. It all comes down to two things. People want to tell fantastical stories, and they are also really bad at judging size. But of course if you want to show me evidence of a nearly 30 foot Croc I'd be happy to see it. In fact, I want it to be true! I just know it's not.
@@PogonaV’s true Looks way bigger than lolong no matter how you put it Easily believable kris was 28ft That’s what was said And nothing suggest otherwise unless in denial
Crocs never stop growing their entire life, they don’t even know how long they truly live. For fuk sake they can eat one big meal and SIT IN THE MUD FOR 12 MONTHS AND NOT EAT ANYTHING, tell me that ain’t a fukin dinosaur. Really a blessing, they even exist today 💀
This is why I have to laugh when the Jurassic Park movies, and the developers of dinosaur videogames are always making their apex predators insanely active, always hunting, and always eating. Just look at the biggest land based predators on earth today, they are always laying around in the shade, conserving their energy until they finally get hungry again. In Ark: Survival Evolved they made the big carnivores insane, always running from victim to victim non-stop killing and eating.
@@thebluestig2654 That's because dinosaurs were birds and would have been warm blooded with fast metabolic rates. They would have needed a lot of food and would have been fairly active. Crocs are cold blooded animals and have very slow metabolic rates so they can go much farther between meals. Hence why dinosaurs are extinct and crocs are still here.
@@PogonaV They were reptiles, crocs are reptiles. What dinosaurs may or may not have evolved into is irrelevant to what they actually were at the time. The largest warm blooded predators on Earth today CONSERVE their energy until they get hungry again because they do NOT eat every day.
I remember seeing a programme years ago and there was a croc so big it was crazy. It had 6 bullet holes down it's side. The guy who was there said that someone tried to kill it years ago with a machine gun. It was massive
My Dad said he saw a 23 footer in Australia back in 1964. They were hunting crocodiles with scopes on their rifles; that’s how he got the size. He also said the really big salties go out to the ocean to feed instead of staying in the rivers due to more food out there.
I was born in Northern Rockhampton (which if you don't know is where crocs are most common) which is in far north Queensland. I don't live there now but I was down there because most of my relatives still live there, it was for Christmas. And we went to the Rocky river and I was chucking rocks into the river. And then through the murky water I see what I think is about an 29-30 foot croc. Is what fucking huge.
Coming from a fishing dude, I severely doubt his claim. Remember they are the king of overestimation just to gain clout! "Dude! I once caught a Bass 3 feet long!". Hahaha. Never trust a fishing enthusiast when it comes to a creature size or weight!
I went kayaking down the suwanee river with my mom when I was like 8 and we saw a gator bigger than our tandem kayak. It was a 16 foot kayak. I know that sucker was longer that that and he was thick too. He had some girth to him. Slid right off the sandy bank he was laying on and right into the water. Only time I've ever been scared of a gator. Born and raised in Florida and I've never EVER seen any gator that big. I've seen so many record gators online in pictures and videos and he basically dwarfs those. My heart DROPPED when I saw him slide into that water.
People often underestimate the intelligence of an apex predator that is very likely over 50 years old and has spent its entire life hunting day in and day out.
@uptownscenery9175 That's b.s. That's a myth. The largest recorded crock was Lolong caught in the Philippines. Lolong was 20f 6 inches 0r just over six meters.
I'm not saying that his statements are true or anything but you can't just dismiss the possibility of a croc at or near 28+ feet. Salties routinely get over 20 feet and as reptiles they never stop growing throughout their entire life. Now consider that they can live more than 100 years in some cases. It isn't a stretch to imagine an alpha bull croc with good genetics that stayed well fed and lived a long life getting to these size ranges. Accept it.
@@kevplescia4397 Anomalies in nature exist literally everywhere and we discover crazy things we didn't think were possible basically daily. All I'm saying is to keep an open mind and not immediately dismiss everything you don't entirely agree with at first glance. LOL.
@@williambeilfuss8138 there are anomalies. Like a crocodile could just get that very rare giant gene but that not natural at that point- it a genetic condition.
