[edit] Crocodile size
On this page it is stated that the largest crocodile found and measured was over 8 meters long, while on the crocodile page it is stated that there is no scientific records of crocodiles longer than 6.7 meters. Maybe some references would be nice?
This is an issue for the crocodile page, I think. The actual statement appears to be "According to scientists there are no truly reliable records of any non-prehistoric crocodiles over 22 feet (6.7m)." Furthermore, that page also states that "In the town of Normanton, Queensland, Australia, there is a fibreglass mould of a crocodile called "Krys the Croc", shot in 1958 by Krystina Pawloski, a teacher/taxidermist who found the 28-foot, 4-inch (8.64 m) animal on a sandbank on the Norman River near her school outside Normanton." I myself would still like to have some verification for C. porosus's size, and I will look around. Mang 18:54, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Crocodile and saltie pages have been updated. The problem with the size of the largest crocodile has been fixed. News; On June 16, 2006, A 23-feet (7.1m) giant saltwater crocodile was captured in Orissa, India and was crowned the world's largest living crocodile. It lives in Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary and in June 2006, was entered in the Guinness Book of World Records. [1]
Referencing allexperts.about.com about the size, it turns out to be much less. I guess 1500 kg is a product of imagination. Any idea?
[edit] Intelligence
erf, the section on "intelligence" needs a tone rewrite. ... aa:talk 04:49, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

- I've added a couple sources to the bottom. It looks like somebody cleaned up the silliness in the "intelligence" section, so I went with what they did and leaned it out some. I am concerned that the section is getting close to OR, specifically Dr. Britton's. Anyways, that's somebody else's call. I have added a little bit of info to the article, and it sounds less insipid now. ... aa:talk 15:17, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] buffalo
This story has been told many times, but only in words, with no evidence, e.g. a pic or a video of corc successfully killing water buff. I highly doubt this figure. Can a croc, kill a buff???????????
