Sad Story to hear and kind of hurts considering that the brother had to watch her sister get eaten. I am wondering about our salties are there too many? http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/1010068/large-alligator-kills-girl-in-brazil |

25 meters = 82 feet I seriously doubt that there is a croc that size |

Wikipedia & other sources put the largest saltwater croc found at around 7 meters (23 feet). 23 feet OR meters, I wouldn't want to come across one of either size! |
