TOP 10 LARGEST CROCODILES In The World

Top 10 Largest Crocodiles in the World
Crocodiles and aligators are quite terrifying creatures, no matter what the size, but we here at Top 5
Best only want to give you the biggest, so today we will be counting down the top 10 largest crocodiles
in the world. Make sure you stay tuned till number one, the croc on that spot is probably the closet
thing to Godzilla we’re going to get.
Number 10. The Tawi-Tawi Crocodile
On September 9, 2017, a 16 feet 11 in saltwater crocodile was captured by fishermen in Tawi-Tawi, an
island province in the Philippines. According to the local people, a local fisherman first spotted the
crocodile a few days before the capture, but initially, they thought it was a wooden log. But it moved
when he approached it. He then reported the incident to the officials, and an operation was quickly
organized to catch the monstrous croc.
It took the combined efforts of the local fishermen and government officials to finally subdue the croc,
which was reportedly extremely aggressive. A number of fishing nets were damaged and even a boat
was wrecked as the people tried to capture the rampaging animal alive. They could have easily killed it
but Philippine law prohibits the killing of crocodiles, and violators face imprisonment and a fine
amounting to $2000.
In the end, the rampaging monster was finally captured. It is now still alive and is under the care of the
municipal government.
Number 9. The Matara Crocodile and Jaws III
It’s a tie between two crocs at number 9 on our list, one of them wild and the other one raised in
captivity, which proves one thing; that crocodiles can grow to monstrous proportions both in the wild or
in captivity.
First up is a crocodile that was captured in Matara, Sri Lanka. Since dubbed the Matara Crocodile, it was
found stuck in a canal leading off the Nilwala River. At 17 feet long and weighing close to a ton, it’s no
wonder why it got stuck. A massive rescue operation was successfully launched the croc was eventually
released back into the river, with officials hoping that it learned its lesson not to crawl up tight spaces.
Tied with it is a crocodile that was born and raised in captivity, and is literally the biggest attraction of
the Madras Crocodile Bank Trust and Centre for Herpetology, which is a reptile zoo and herpetology
research station, located miles south of the city of Chennai, in state of Tamil Nadu, India.
Lovingly named Jaws III, this massive 17 foot behemoth was born in the center itself back in 1970. No
one expected it to grow to such proportions. He is also the favorite of the center’s founder, Romulus
Whitaker, who had a lifelong history with Jaws III. Whitaker said that he even used to carry baby Jaws III
under his arms in the 70’s.
Number 8. Gustave
Narrowly beating the two crocs occupying the number 9 slot on our list is probably Africa’s largest
crocodile. Named Gustave by the locals, he is 17 feet 2 inches long and reportedly weights more than a
ton. Those figures are estimates at best because no one seems to have the guts to capture Gustave to
make the proper measurements.
You see, Gustave is a Nile Crocodile, a species that is known to be particularly vicious. Not only that,
Gustave is also a known man eater. Gustave is rumored to have disposed of more than 300 people who
ventured too close to the shores of the Ruzizi River and Lake Tanganyika. And unlike most crocs who kill
only for sustenance, locals report that Gustave also kills for pleasure and has a habit of picking off
several people in an area and then disappearing for a while before repeating the cycle.
Number 7. Gomek
Gomek was a large saltwater crocodile captured by George Craig in Papua New Guinea. He was
purchased by Terri and Arthur Jones in 1985 and was kept in Ocala, Florida for five years before being
sold to the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park in Florida.
For 8 years he wowed spectators with both his amazing nutria-tossing abilities and his even more
amazing tolerance of people. Feeders of the large croc were allowed to go into the enclosure and get as
close as 1 meter from the large animal without any fear of attack. While feeders still used long tongs to
feed Gomek, he was generally considered to be a “tame” crocodile and was the favorite of the Alligator
farm and people around the nation.

I have seen the documentary when they captured Lolong. And according to the locals. There is another crocodile, in the same river, which is way bigger, than Lolong.

This dude is dissing Gustave... they’ve never even gotten close to him, he was so viscous they had to study him at least twenty yards away from him. One of the estimates of his size was 25 feet, some were larger. As long as his teeth and health are in good condition, he will continue to grow in size and terrorize Burundi once more. You should’ve put him on at least #2, he’s a living legend after all.

"Gustav is a known man eater. Rumoured to have eaten 300...." What if, instead of Gustav being guilty there is actually a serial killer on the loose near the Nile River? Throw any evidence to old Gustav which will make him look guilty when any remains are found. No offence to the victims if it was Gustav in Predator mode.

I've seen Casius in person when i went to green island and let me tell you, his enclosure is dangerously too small for him. Green Island is a TINY TINY around, like less than 1 hour of walking to walk around the beach full circle. He belongs better in Australia Zoo or any larger zoo, the pool he cannot swim in all he can do is just float there in the one spot and not turn around properly unless he goes onto land. The land is always dirt, never seen a patch of grass there. And the enclosure is the exact same for the other croc that is there.
