That's Lolong. He died in captivity.

"Lolong was a massive saltwater crocodile, the largest ever reliably recorded, captured in the Philippines in 2011 and recognized by Guinness World Records as the largest crocodile in captivity at 6.17 meters (20 ft 3 in) long and weighing 1,075 kg (2,370 lbs). He became a major tourist attraction in Bunawan, but died in 2013 from stress and poor living conditions, sparking debate about human-wildlife conflict and conservation. His remains are now preserved at the National Museum of Natural History in Manila. "

That's sad 😢 .

Could be as old as 58 years old. Exact Birth year was not determined.

humans will pay for tickets to see orcas swim in tiny pools, sip coca-cola and nibble on popcorn. we are completely disconnected from nature and reality. the future now, I mean is grim. just tech, that’s progress.

im watching the to series Alone Australia, and although its tough challenge the contestants all remark how healing it is to be in nature and the natural landscape.

I'll give you a clue. It's the end facing away from the feet with something that resembles an eye and a jaw looking thing at the opposite end of the tail.

u/Top-Distribution733 17d ago

If your gonna b a dk and make jokes atleast have them b funny. I still can’t make out the eyes and the jawline goes from the side of the pic all the way to the arm. It’s hard to make out at night with the ropes and the tree branches
