News flash: Crocodiles do kill humans!!

And, although we may be smarter , wouldnt go as far as to say we are superior than creatures who have been around decades upon decades longer than ourselves, I mean think about all the animals in just the time that crocodiles//alligators have been on the earth that have died completly out, and the ones still to die out before the croc//alligator!! I mean deserves some sorta respect!!! For all you know they may even out live the human species!!

alrighty lemme clear this here stuff up, I spent my whole life in Louisiana, and a family who traps alligators, first off this isn't an alligator it is a crocodile, there isn't any crocs in louisiana, there is a small breed of crocs in florida that are much smaller and shapped differently, I agree this is a really old animal, but its not from louisiana, its not an alligator, and those aren't reall soul brothers from New Orleans.....

--gumbo luvin fool,
geaux tigers!

Yall are all full of crap, those are New Orleans folks. Louisiana folks are some of the most friendly people around. Make those comments about the color of there skin and makeing remarks that make them out to be like the people on the movie Water Boy is just childish and emature.
and one more thing, May la Bau tau Rou Lay

Dont know how many louisiana people you've seen!
But the people in the photo are clearly not !!!
Also theres another picture on another site were the licence plate is clearly visible and its clearly a tag from a foriegn country!! (like say o, The Congo, in Point-Noire) Anyways there are many many many different kinna people in New Orleans , From plaid, overall wearing backwoods people, to thug types, to men in business suits,, to the vodoo kinds, all the way down to you average day american blue colored workers..

Lousiana is a very nice place to visit, Just stay clear of martigra place turns into a made house, i only thought st. patricks day in savannah was crazy... Have great day!!

what was in the stomach of the crocodile

well, yeah, of course crocodiles kill humans. So do spiders. And mosquitoes. Hell, all of these animals might outlast us. But don't go telling me that they're superior to us. I think they're awesome animals, but if humans wanted to wipe out the entire species they sure could (not that it would be a good thing or even an ok thing, just saying it's possible).

I think in a way they are lying because it would be seen from all the planes that fly around I mean if he is that big I would notice something like that if i was in a plane and if nobody seen that then its no telling what else might be on this earth.

its just like gas prices it isn't doing nothin but making poor people poorer and making more crimes in areas because theres a lot of people in the united states that are having money problems and there really not making it now because they can't pay for gas because they got to pay there bills and they don't make it to work because they have no money for gas so they get fired because they had no ride to work so the goverment it just getting all the money he don't really know what hes doing to us because hes got it made becasue hes getting our money and i think i am speaking for everybody.

No, Tate, if you were speaking for everybody, you'd be coherent.

Look at the picture closely and bear in mind that crocs have long slender snouts and and gators have short stubby snouts. view other pictures on the web also.

im into all this giant reptile things i really like aliigators and crocs

Uh, Tate, just out of curiosity, what the f*ck are you talking about? You make no sense at all. How is a Giant Crocodile hoax in any way like rising gas prices? If you could just point out like one similarity, or even something that isn't a similarity but maybe a correlation of some kind, everyone would be much obliged. Thank you.

I used to live in Louisiana and for some one to make this mistake on a reptile that does not even habitat this southern region is plain stupid. What A Hoax!!! It's not even an Alligator you Dumb A@*%s!!! ITS A FRIGGEN CROC!!! What did school teach you? Especially those who live in Louisiana for buying this BS!

Who ever was talking about the plates, there are no plates on this vehicle. If you are referring to the "80" and "90" in the white circles....that's not a license plate. Otherwise, I don't see what anyone is talking about on that.
As far as "not standing next to the croc if it were truly real, IT'S DEAD! If you look in the supposed article, it says that it's being kept in the freezer and they will be examining the stomache for it's contents. Whether this is a hoax or not, it still may be a real croc anyway, just not in the right area. Also, you have to keep in mind the possibility that it could be real. There was a hurricane and things including live things could have been swept out of its origin. Secondly, even if the trucks plates were indeed not NOLA or American doesn't mean anything, people from many places came to help out there. who's to say no one from S.A. came up here, who knows what their plates look like. You just never know, but why rule out anything?!?!?!

you know its sad that so many unexplainable things are going on in the world today.you dont know what to believe.things that are happening now were so far fetched even 15 years ago.i knew the crocodile was real so i just believed the story for a minute too.my first thought was how many fisherman has this thing munched on?then i went to my t.v. and turned on fox news. nothing about a crocodile,so i knew it was bogus then.whoever did this should find a better way to entertain themselves than turning a tragic situation into humor.

dude. you cannot "rehabilitate" a prehistoric eating machine with a brain the size of a pea. what are you gonna do? read him his Miranda Rights and send him to therapy?

that's a croc (literally). its big, its dumb, it eats and it sleeps. and it tends to be territorial and return to its territory even after you move it someplace else. when it threatens people, you kill it.

"This crocodile was killed by the army last Sunday at 3:00 pm, currently he is in the freezer at the Azur hotel. The contents of it's stomach will be analyzed."

If the Army killed it why aren't there any Military around? and I have been trying my best to find this motel and the only one's I find are in the Congo and France.

Living in croc country all my life (Northern Territory and North Western Australia). I wondered how an Australian croc ended up so far away from home.They travel around but not that far.It supprised me because one that big would have already set themselves up within a river system as the dominant male and being that big would have no rivals or natural preditors. I did see one that big the other day on the fitzroy river so I did'nt go fishing.

Figures. From the dress of the people in the photo, you know it's not in New Orleans, and seems military wouldn't miss a chance for credit, in which they'd SURELY be in the photo.

Meanwhile, I'll be drinking Absinthe (http://Absinthe.ProtoProtoss.net) so I can illusion all this stuff attacking me and I have reason to run.... or stay intoxicated.

Actually, there are crocs in North America, and they are small saltwater crocs, often living around mangroves in the salt. I have seen 4 or 5 on fishing trips in Mexico, and trust me, these are no gators.
