Krys replica at LEW Henry Park Normanton, Queensland
At first glance, I thought this humongous croc was one of Australia’s curious “Big Things”, like the Big Gumboot in Tully, the Big Mango in Bowen or the Big Barramundi in the Outback, all of which we saw during our road trip . There was no doubt about its menacing immensity, but Krys, the Savannah King was actually a life-sized replica of the largest saltwater crocodile ever caught in the world. It was shot by Krystina Pawloski, a female school teacher, on the banks of Norman River in Queensland Australia in 1957.
Now I wonder whom I should be more scared of 
holy broccoli! that’s one big humongous crocodile!
That aviator sunglasses is looking cooler on you. What a deadshot teacher that is, killing a croc that size, i wont even dare to stand eye to eye with one half its size for 5 seconds.
Now don’t you wonder how she was like in the classroom
gorgeous!
well anyway, mga ilan ang nabiktima ni Krys?
Malamang konti lang kasi sa Outback sya, maliit lang ang population at sanay na mga tao doon sa crocs.
wow! ang laki! sa may crocodile farm sa PP, Palawan…yung balat ng pinakamalaking crocodile na nahuli is on display
Yep nabasa ko rin yung tungkol doon, hopefully makapunta ako sa susunod na balik ko sa Palawan.
What a shame they shot it.! Wouldn’t it be even bigger now if it was still alive. Sad to see humans kill something just because it’s enormous.
I guess it was more dangerous to keep this man-eating croc alive.
Pag teacher talaga, anlakas ng loob. Haha! Ayos, pang-ilang araw na kinilaw din si Krys. LOL!
Hahaha, isang buwang kinilaw yan!
Its my first time seeing this enormous size of a crocs.
.
I think the biggest one I’ve seen was in Davao Crocodile Park and Krys is something I’d rather see in the zoo or exactly like this one- a life-sized replica
Oh God its huge !! u look cool !!
that’s one big croc! no wonder he was shot, it could have been dangerous during that time.
Yeah, also with the livestock and other animals.
King Croc!!
Thats a damn big crocodile, The camera would have been put away till I was in my car lol
Jim
Lol, I wouldn’t even dare to take pictures!
I don’t know how you’ll take this, but I’ll say it anyway..
)
Mas napansin pa kita kaysa sa malaking buwaya! ahahaha!
compared to your previous entries, fully made up ka dito
Peace Claire :p
hahaha no worries, i’m not “fully made up” though, i’m not wearing make- up, lipstick or anything here just the usual while traveling, nakashades lang siguro.
P.S. The picture of me at the footer levitating was taken on the same day.
it’s just me trying to say, “ang ganda mo dito” without sounding like a mambobola. haha!
maybe it’s the hair..
wow! ang laki! Nice croc!
it’s actually close to being a dinosaur (although they are actually one the closest ancestors. that is really large for a crocodile. nice that they made a replica to commemorate.
Yeah at first glance, you would think it’s the cousin of T-Rex
I don´t think I have ever seen a crocodile that big!!! Wow..he could have eaten you for breakfast!
I doubt though if I can be considered as a full-meal, more of an appetizer I would guess
WOW! this is huge!!! monstrous!
made me want to google it.
That croc is huge – he wouldn’t even have noticed if he swallowed me! And I am with you about the school teacher! I would never have given that teacher any grief what so ever!!
Lol! I think she had well-behaved students.
Those are adorable pics! Thank goodness it wasn’t real!
Whoa! Oo nga… “appetizer” ka lang ng buwayang ito! Cool find!
jamir: (looking at your picture showing your face near the croc’s mouth) … naku nanay, the crocodile will eat “the girl”. =D
Naku Jamir, di mo na ako kilala, I’m not just “the girl”
i thouht lolang was the largest crocodile to ever be caught
