Ich erhielt die folgende email mit den angehängten Fotos ohne Quellenangabe, die
sicherlich zusammen mit der Mittteilung auch für die Besucher der AG-Homepage
interessant sind. Allerdings sind 21 ft (7 m) sicher übertrieben, ich schätze das Tier auf ca. 5 m, was ein wahrlich gigantisches Nilkrokodil ist. Beste Grüsse Ralf Sommerlad www.tomistoma.org This crocodile was on the beach in front of the Petroleum Club, Plage Sportive in Pointe Noire, Republic of the Congo, 21 FT long, 4,500 lbs, around 80 years old minimum. Specialists said that he was looking to eat hums because he was too old to catch animals. For the past few months in some villages close to point Noire people were complaining that some people in their villages have been disappearing, and it could well be this crocodile that's responsible. 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 this Friday at 2:30 pm.
