Henry’s so cute ☺️
It's amazing that a crocodile like Henry has lived longer than anyone has expected. The average life span for a croc is 70 years, but for Henry to live for over 100 years is amazing and impressive

@@Datniccaboyhe would still eventually die of old age, he is a reptile after all and those can become extremely old with tortoises being the main example. They show little signs of aging as they get older but no animal has the secret to immortality.

The age being celebrated is the year of his capture. He must be at least 140 years old by now because if he was captured as a man eater and terror croc in 1903 he must be an adult croc by then of at least 20-30 years old. No way a baby croc to 3 year croc can terrorise a village.

Still alive and kicking
Amazing
He's actually the same age as my great grandmother who died in the 70's. Weird to think this crocodile was a baby the same time as my great grandmother.
footage looks like it's from 2005
Crazy how he was put in captivity as a punishment, what of all the others?
lol when henry was a young croc, the current queen was his former owner
though i wish henry would live longer, hopefully not for another world war
So massive
He's still alive as of 2019. Officially older than anyone on earth.

Amazing! The habitat for Crocodiles and Alligators is shrinking and shrinking every year due to human development and it currently smaller than it ever was. When will the habitats be allowed to be expanded by the Humans?

gustave is no ordinary nile croc either. it has the intelligents to avoid being capture. this croc is not like any other out there. gustave has consumed at least 300 victims and still the monster remains unscathed. he will continue to grow to such a size that will surpass lolong easily. this unique creature manages to survive under will and predatory dominance. we're not just talking about a man-eater here, this is a crafty, skilled rogue with potentials. other crocs are lured and distracted to be captured. NOT GUSTAVE..

@@BlackAnvil47 gustave had a full set of teeth so therefore he is much younger then henry if gustave is still alive he is probably somewhere in the vicinity of 20 + feet my guess is he probably 23 feet though he has never been measured

i think nile croc getting older and they getting more fat like gustave and saltwater more older more length they get, my opinion and i love this captivity cause the croc feel save like in the wild, not like in philipine lolong
That's the oldest Nile crocodile
He has been known to kill humans and so you people give him a retirement home?!?!?!?!

It means if u and ur generation feed a crocodile and no war or disease coming up, he would live till Andromeda hits Milky. Lmao

gold old fashioned name, why not a good name like meat mangler or bollock biter. its nice seeing beasties like this, but i have reservations as to enclosing animals for our pleasure.
