I saw one close up in an enclosure at a reptile farm in Ca.My mom,dad and me all reacted the same way when we saw him.We moved back from the enclosure The hair on the back of my neck stood up. It was 17.5 ft.and about 1800 lbs.
I’m a little late, but I work at Alligator Adventure, and this croc is so well taken care of. His enclosure is much larger in real life and is the 4th largest enclosure in the park, along side the duck pound, main canal and hyena enclosure. He barely ever moves and yes, he is a really chill boy!
Actually, i believe one of the workers for Utan who used to stick his head in his mouth was actually possibly killed. It may just be that a lot of time passed because Utan has been in this park for almost 17 years, I am 30 and he came when I was like 13. We asked about the trainer a few years ago, and they were like “who?” Also, some of the gators here are literally almost as big as Utan. The crocs tails get longer than gators, but big Alligators have stupidly big heads and jaws. Edit: I think he is the guy. He just wasnt there last time I was there.
That would be terrifying! Not only would it be huge (if at least one of the hybrids was a male), but it would be dangerous as hell since both Nile and Saltwater Crocodiles are labeled as the most aggressive crocodile species on the planet. If you want to make it bigger and meaner afterwards, have the hybrid then breed with a Cuban crocodile. And help anyone who would dare even try to care for that thing.
they would probably try to kill eachother unless you mean taking saltie sperm and putting them in Nile eggs and vise versa then you have a monster on your hands
I’ve seen Utan in person twice, since I have close family there. Trust me me the cameras don’t do it justice. He’s a BIG ass boy! Gorgeous boy. My boyfriend and I last saw him in 2021 and truly something remarkable. 🐊🐊🐊
We've been there!!! We grew up going to Alligator Adventures, and held baby gators and retics when we were just 5-6 years old. We're still SOO passionate about wildlife and exotics 25 years later.
Absolutely breathtaking. I wish I can meet this 'dinosaur' once, in person. Utan, you truly are a King among crocodiles. I hope you will have a long and happy life. :3
Lolong is the largest crocodile in captivity.. and there is a crocodile too that is bigger than lolong.. it also lived in the same river with lolong but was not captured yet.. and Cassius is bigger than Utan, Cassius is now the biggest crocodile in captivity because Lolong is already dead
I heard the one in the same river than LOLONG was at least 35 to 40 feet long and still alive and healthy growing. is also attacking human beings and in some cases eating them because they don't have the right tech to capture it
You and every ignorant and unknowledgeable animal lover are foolish for assuming this cold blooded killer shouldn't be in a cage. Magnificent isn't a good description, monster is a better description.
Ive seen him in Samutprakarn, Thailand years ago. Hes really lucky to get sold to US. His living condition in Thailand was very.. bad. He spent decades in green polluted pool along with other hundreds of crocs. His life in the US is really well now. If you look at his head, there are some noticable white skins. Thats a condition for being submerged in water all the time for decades. He was suffering back then. Hope he live happily for another more decades in the US!
I was there maybe 8 years ago. Utan is definitely a LOT more impressive in person. That being said, he doesn't move much, and I wish he had more room to swim.
My goodness, the head of that croc was something out of Jurassic Park. Its awesome to have such monster sized creatures on earth to appreciate.....and stay far away from .
The croc looks a bit tame, I know its a wild animal and could lash out at any moment, but still, he looks very calm in front of alot of people, also great vid, I hope you had fun their!
I saw Utan for the first time in 2009. The handler took our cameras to get a great picture. We were there for his first feeding of the year, early spring. He hadn’t eaten all winter. They fed him 3 skinned rabbits. You could hear his jaws coming together from a block away. He’s massive. This video doesn’t do him justice.
5:42 Utan: ah. It’s good to hear people talking and imagining scenes about the past when my ancient ancestors once flourished millions years ago. It’s part of my motto: “everything needs to take a good period of time for the next transformation”
saw this guy in person. I remember walking in the underwater tube looking out the window & I said to my cousin "where is he?" and he just poked up and scared the sh*t out of us. He looked like the trex from Jurassic Park

Will Gibson I'm not rude lmao & yeah could be, but any animals like lions, crocodiles or whatever in a zoo are not happy, they deserve too be in the wild

Fatties don't normally move. Same with every species..
You probably won't see this but how do they feed him?
Steve Irwin would not be happy with the size of the enclosure.
i was thinking the same thing, but i am hoping and thinking that was just the feeding area for show.
You only see his enclosure from one angle. Trust me, it's bigger than that.
As someone who has been there, I am sad to say it is small however it is bigger than they portray it as he has a big body of water right next to him.
RIP Irwin
Im sure he has a big pool right?
Imagine what Steve Irwin would stay “CRIKEY THATS A BEAUTY”
Steve Irwin he was King of reptiles.
Have a look at that!
‘I’m gonna jam my thumb right up its butt ‘ole. That’ll really piss it ooof’
You know he would have had to have a go
This is the most perfect crocodile. Big, taken good care of, well environment. So happy for him
He isn't the only full time worker for him... He's the only one left.

Needs a larger enclosure, this is way too small!
AK Rex its just to show the feeding
That's his feeding enclosure
Utan lives in a 5000 sq. ft exhibit with a luxury pool that contains over 30,000 gallons of fresh water.
They dont need large enclosures if they are provided with food. This big guy will only move to sun bath and eat.
I've seen Utan up close and few times and he is massive.

Trust me, I've been to his home for most of my childhood. He's usually left alone since feeding only happens on Wednesdays and he has a massive pool.
you cant release giant crocs like this in the wild, they kill absolutely everything even own crocs so it disrupts the entire ecosystem

Am I the only 1 thinking about the late 'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin? I love his shows and how he spoke.
I've been there many times and I've hardly ever seen the croc "Utan" hardly move unless he's being fed. But he is HUGE!!!!
Love crocs, especially the big boys/girls, something mesmerising about what is essentially one of the few surviving dinosaur species left today
The fence looks so flimsy😳he is so huge if he charged at fence,it’s going down.
