I hunted a huge property in Australia for buffalo in 2017. Tourists can’t hunt crocs or shoot them. But landowner was given croc tags every year. He sold croc harvesting experiences. You could participate in trapping crocs until you got the one you wanted. They would have to dispatch it for you but you could have the skin and skull. They got monsters.I'm not sure in Africa but in Australia where hunting crocs by the general public or tourist hunters is not allowed. They had a big cull of big Salt Water Crocs, by government shooters, I think over 30 years ago. They have some absolutely huge crocs that escaped that cull. So they are old. Bigger than Nile crocs in Africa.
I suspect a croc who doesn't have to work for a living but rather has his rent paid for him and his meals delivered right to him without any effort on his part, can grow pretty big and fat in short order.
You know, just like humans.....
