if you receive an email with photographs of this enormous croc... it's a hoax! rofl rofl

apparently there is an email going around saying that they found this croc after the hurricane... These photos were not taken in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. They were taken in 2003 and document the capture of a 16-foot crocodile in Pointe-Noire, Republic of the Congo. The incident was covered in the July 17, 2003 edition of La Semaine Africaine.

but just to let you know it was actually this

No croc...only some fish...

Sure looks like him but there are a fair number of "lookalikes" on the media circuit and photo-manipulation has become so easy that you can't believe anything you see anymore. (Sigh, what are we left to believe in . . . ?) In fact, now that I look closer, I believe that this photo is a hoax, too. Notice the railing of a sailboat at the angler's knees and that none of the rest of the boat is visible. Where'd you get it?
 
There are no Crocs in the Southern USA for a start, only 'Gators.
That should be a heads up anyway!!
 
Actually, that all depends on how far south you go in the US. The American crocodile, a far smaller and more furtive species than the African model, does live in the Florida Keys . . . but that's a loonnngggg way from N'Ahleans!
