If giant crocs live somewhere, then I hope we won't find them. Otherwise, they will either be captured and put into some damn zoo or killed by greedy poachers.
Local legend says that Steve Irwin knew of two crocodiles in the Northern Territory that surpassed 9 meters. Never revealed their exact location because of trophy hunters. Took it with him to the grave RIP

I think it shows that old measurements really needed to be treated with a healthy skepticism. Also there was no rule on how to measure an animal in those days. It’s terrific they kept the skull, actual proof and with known skull to length ratios of very large crocs around 1:9 not 1:7, theses beasts are still massive, but within known lengths. It proves so far that the 1:9 ratio is working and none of these 8 m plus crocodiles ever existed in modern times. Great work!
if Lolong was the Largest croc in captivity by Guinness and where a much larger croc (PotoL) was also seen in the same River(Agusan marsh) i believe there are more huge crocs out there,which in their FamiLy genes🐊 🐊 🐊 🐊 👀
I love watching your content. The great thing about it you are really exerting effort to do research and validate the facts. I have this strange admiration for saltwater crocs and great fear at the same time. I think they are magnificent creatures but must be preserved and let it live to its habitat.
Places like the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia need to have Crocodile Sanctuary Zones where people cannot encroached, go fishing etc. Yes, I know - crocodiles moved. But most will stay put if they feel safe, there is enough space and there is enough food.
200yrs ago and u don't think the croc could have been 22ft why? Dude man bro that's not crazy considering we don't know how big they get with age bc we killed off most of the true monsters in the 1900s to 1970s
I sent Jake a video. The more I watch it the more I'm amazed. I think it depicts a genuine fully grown crocodile 23 feet or better in my opinion. It's the biggest one I've seen in my life. I really didn't know they got that big easily 1.5 metres across the back when it's in water. The head is approaching 1 metre total length. There are still monsters out there guys. I have no doubt less developed countries can facilitate even bigger animals possibly breaking the accepted max size of 23 ft which is where I'll put the one in the video I sent Jake. My aunty was a park ranger in Kakadu and she told me she saw one over 7 metres long... I don't think the 7 metres is a myth as much as it is an extreme rarity. There may only be less than 5 monsters like that in Australia out of now an estimated millions of crocodiles. There may be only 5 in the world out of salties and niles. Craziest footage I'm truly blessed to have gotten to see it. I used to think 6 metres was a more logic max size as the biggest ones we can confirm are 6-6.3 now I think 6.5-7.5 is A good range for maximum size.
I agree but those giants learned to stay away from man because we have a habit of killing them. They say their is reportings of 20ft black caiman deep in the pantinal in Brazil. Barely anyone goes there except the natives.
I think 24ft is the maximum size for any saltwater crocodile in these times, probably somewhere in the remote regions of the Nothern Territory, Australia. Any exceptional specimen would catch the attention of hunters and be shot.
As of now no, but sometime this year a hard cover will release. I’m actually working on a 2nd edition of the book rn, and a hard cover will release for that version.
Potol's eyes are the size of a Volkswagen Beetle's head lights and if you measure across from the inside corner of the eyes you can get the full length of the Crocodile and it's beyond massive,,,told you I wasn't bullshitting you bud, great video 🤙🍻
@taterteezy I respect your judgment on what you have not seen, but what I speak of is not false & Yes it truly is a monster that is also caught on video and when you see that video, you will truly realize that monsters do exist and it's eyes are truly that size . And that's no BS, you feel it in your bones and will get goosebumps. It is very real 💯
@@TheSavageJetdiRustySpooner and how does that video show the size of the eyes? If you don't know the exact dimensions of something next to it, you can't do more than guess the size of the eyes.
Listen to the story of ww2, whole armies were almost wiped out from crocs during a retreat. Nothing you could do either, your wading through a swamp in retreat good luck you barely have enough food and supplies as it is to fight, they say 900 japanese died.
Most people (especially women if you know what i mean lol) dont understand the difference in mass between a 20 foot croc and a 30 foot croc. Thats almost double the mass ans its why scientists are so sceptical of even a 23 foot croc
A sword has no effect yet they are very easy to skin with a knife. Most are killed with a .22, yet a high powered rifle round bounced off? Was it a robot croc?
I mean, their face and head are pretty much all bone. I don't think a sword would do very much. I could also see the round bouncing maybe if you didn't know where to shoot and hit a dorsal plate? I have seen people make claims like this with alligator gar. like, the guys who are killing them with 22.s are hitting a pretty specific soft spot aren't they?
@@lessermook7608your ignorant and privileged asf you think these villagers can just get on a plane and move too somewhere else that’s not how it works idiot smh
How could the numberd be so off well depending on what they were using is the easiest thought. But as the old saying goes never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Only grabbed the saddle in its jaws ... ever ridden a horse mate? The saddle is strapped on ......this is all just what we call in Australia " bullshit"
Probably should have explained in the video, but the horse broke free of the saddle in the report. “…the monster threw himself upon the steed and seized him by the saddle. The horse made a violent effort, the girths broke, and thus enabled him to reach the shore” (Gironiere, 216).
People really don't understabd what a 30ft crocodile would look like or what it would weigh. It would be like 5,000 lbs or more and that means without the water to support its weight it would likely crush its own organs. It would be over twice the size of a 20ft croc.....30ft crocodiles do not exist I'm sorry.
_☺️_ well I do really want those 30ft not exist,as someone that love to fish,these 30ft salty croco not Afraid of human,once it see human from a distance it will swim below the water and pop out 2 meter Infront of you in few seconds _☺️_ Come to southeast Asia, especially Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei...explore each river
Bro If it was 27-30 feet long with would have been over 8000 pounds which is 4x larger than the biggest ever found so this story is straight up bs and it was probably around 19ft long so people are over exaggerating its length
@@adang578 well tell me then, what happens when you shoot a pistol at a croc? Most sources I’ve found says it depends on croc size and that it’ll ricochet if croc‘s skin is hard. Since those sources are apparently wrong, tell me what happens?
