Utan Crocodile - Largest in United States Located at: Alligator Adventure in Mrytle Beach South Carolina www.alligatoradventure.com Born: 1964 Weight: 2 Tons Length: 20 feet
Thanks for posting this.......a really cool video. I just wish they would be honest about Utan's actual size. Note how the sign at the end of the video says: "20 feet long". This is false. Because Utan's chief care-giver stated in a video posted much more recently than this one, that Utan is right at 18 ft long. Still the largest croc in captivity in America, and one of the largest (presently..........even bigger crocs in activity have died ) in captivity in the world. They got his weight correct at 2000 lbs........1 TON. The zoo keepers need to clean the glass for that viewing window. They could wait until right after the croc has been fed (Utan is very lazy after being fed ), and use a long pole with a scrubber to clean the algae off of that glass. The longer they wait, the more difficult it will be to scrub that algae off. Both Utan and paying visitors deserve better. I also just noticed that the sign says Utan's diet consists of "vitamin fortified turkey, chicken, and beef". Again, according to Utan's chief care-giver in the same newer video I just mentioned, the ONLY thing Utan will eat is skinned RABBITS. That other video even shows the man feeding him skinned whole rabbits. He said that Utan refuses to eat anything else.
One thing doesn’t make sense tho. Cassius is in the Guinness book of world records for being the biggest in captivity. Even though he is smaller than utan. Utan should be in the record book.
AJ Jones Thanks. Our own salties live across the ocean in North Borneo..the most notorious , a dude named Bujang Senang. Man finally caught up with him though.
AJ Jones I see. And i am glad to learn that your own crocs are coming back from the brink of extinction. These guys are survivors. They ll multiply, mark my word.

UTAN
It's a crocodile raised in a farm, a zoo. In Thailand, the largest in the world
Ya know, Utan is actually a hybrid between a saltwater crocodile and a siamease crocodile to the the king of crocs *Utan!*
Magnificent creature long may he live!
Jao-Yai crocodile Thailand
Utan was in the Chao-Yai crocodile’s park, the he was taken to U.S (some says).
And then the glass breaks!
How long is Utah? How much does he weigh?
18 ft and 2000 pounds.
Is he a native of the U.S or an imported saltie from elsewhere?
Zainul Zainul he was imported
