Meet Henry, the world’s oldest crocodile

And he’s absolutely enormous

Killer Crocs with Steve Backshall: Steve takes us into the dangerous world of crocodiles – one of nature’s most fearsome predators – entering croc-infested territory escorted by an armed safari guide.

Long long ago, someone told Henry “In a while, crocodile!”. He refuses to die until he meets that person again.

So magneficent! Baffling to think that Henry ate people that lived more than 120 years ago, before the world wars, before the Titanic sank, and he’s still here today. That is special

He was caught in 1903, let’s assume he was 5 when they caught him , that means he was born in 1898 while still queen Victoria was alive,and before the two world wars, unbelievable.

When I clicked on this I thought they’d say he was like 25, maybe 50. My jaw dropped when they revealed how old he actually is. Keep goin’ strong Henry!
