Before I leave the croc theme, this is a pic of Elliot with an exact, anatomically correct replica of the biggest crocodile ever captured in Australia. E's six feet four, so that gives you some idea...
This fella was shot in 1957 by a Polish woman immigrant who formed a croc hunting team with her husband and lived at Karumba. These days, crocodiles are protected. Not sure that's a great idea.

This reminds me of a "life-size dinosaur" placed in Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. I'm 5'10" and look miniscule in front of it too.
Thanks for sharing the picture and the brief history. My first thought about the "Polish woman immigrant" was "Way to GO!!!!"
Excuse me? There was a crocodile THAT BIG? What!?! How will I ever sleep again?
I mean, even though there aren't a lot of crocodiles in Indiana, one never knows, right?
Sooo now I'm moving from Australia... :) It's scary to think there was something that big out there. What I've seen is more than enough thank you very much!
