No kidding it doesn’t look like an alligator. That’s because it’s a Nile crocodile. Although I wouldn’t expect Americans to know about anything that exists beyond their own borders. Male Nile crocodiles can grow in excess of 20 feet. A Nile crocodile named Gustav is estimated to be over 25 feet long. He might have grown even larger if he is still alive. Saltwater crocodiles that live here in Australia can grow even bigger, up to 30 feet.
@Grams, @Ruby and especially you, Millie who told me to get real – I saw this on the History channel! And Millie, what do you constitute making news? There are a lot of things happening in the world that don’t hit the nightly news. For example, do you know why George Clooney was arrested on the steps of the Sudanese embassy? Do you know that their government is Islamic and a dictorship and preventing supplies from reaching a group of people called Nubans? Do you know why they’re doing this? Because the Nubans are Christian and they wish to destroy all Christian in the world starting with their country. Did you hear about this on the news?
Who knows it may be a real alligator. I agree with Millie it would have been all over the news, unless we missed it or it was discovered before our time.

If this were real it would be on the news and in newspapers a lot can be down with photos now days there has been a lot done to this one. GET REAL.

It kind of look real. If so the size of the gator look to be between 30 and 40 feet long. The image could have been photo manipulated.

Maybe 20 feet. A 40 foot crocodile would smash the current world record.
