We had a gator at the Weapons Station in Goose Creek SC. His name was Charlie. He lived in a small fenced area. He lived there only because he chose too, as he was well fed with roadkill from the Weapons Station. He was about 18’ long. Took a group of Brit dignitaries to see him as we left the area for the airport. They were all gathered near the fence only a meter or so away. I stayed back about 4 or 5 meters. They asked why, so I told them. Explained he wasn’t chained or held in that little chain link fenced area by anything but his good will. They took off like a shot!
I remember they told us a story in indoc about "Master Chief One-Arm" to keep us from going near him. No idea if it's true, but I sure stayed the hell away.
Yeah, no. It looks like an archosaur. Because it is one. Not even close to looking like a dinosaur though, except for maybe the head looking like suchomimus or baryonyx.
@@BennyAscentspecifically speaking, dinosaurs are archosaurs but not all archosaurs are dinosaurs. Even non dinosaur-archosaurs that lived alongside dinosaurs sometimes shared characteristics with dinosaurs.

He’s probably even older than that. If he was eating men by 1903 he’s probably between a 130 to 140years old. No one really knows how old they can really live. MOMMA I’M FINALLY FAMOUS!😳🤣

There is a 800kg croc at Currumbin wildlife sanctuary near the Gold Coast called Boss Hogg, and a 6m croc was found in the Mary river further north in Queensland.
Quite possibly one of the largest measured by width/girth but not length. Crocs and gators can hit 20+ feet or 7 meters and Henry is “5+ meters”. I haven’t been to the Nile but as a native Floridian there are some truly massive monsters out there in the Everglades.

He was a men-eating croc... ...caught by Sir Henry in 1903... ...so he is more than 120 years old. Ok maybe I am the only one again thinking a bit more about the content of a statement than others BUT: If this is true, he was caught in 1903 AND was allready a men-eater crocodile then it MUST be at least 10+ years older, to have allready the size to be a meneater. (growth rate and so on.) just saying...
I had the same thought but everything I found says he was born in 1900. They said that he was eating children from a nearby village and was probably about 4 ft at the time so I guess it's possible.
“As I lay here surrounded by strange creatures who all to familiarize themselves with me. I see them change as I see my meals. I am a leaf floating down the river of time and will continue so. The camera man was cool” -Henry the croc
This is why ethical zoos and animal sanctuaries are important. This animal has lived so long, likely because of great care by his keepers. He now will inspire more people to view these animals with awe and respect instead of fear. This will help other crocs by minimizing their killing in the wild.
Keeping wild animals in cages is not important. It's cruel. Less than 16% of the animals in zoo's are endangered species. You can't keep an animal in a cage for 100 yrs and claim it's for their own good.
@@ukmedicfrcs Are you in the field of conservation? Zoology? Or any of the earth sciences? Do you have any sources to back up your claims? I do. I know for a fact Pandas would go extinct in the wild. If not for zoos participating in Ex-situ conservation Harpy Eagle populations would be in a far worse state than they are now. I know this because I am in the earth sciences in university and had to do a bunch of research on this topic.
@@TerraStory225MYA It's very easy to research the subject but yes I am in the conservation field. And as I stated only 16% are endangered species. Animals in zoo's suffer depression, anxiety, rage. They can't act on their instincts, they can't mate as they would in the wild, they can't hunt as they would and the stress of thousands of people around them all the time is very harmful. All of this is very easy to research. The stats are out there. The fact of the matter only a small portion of zoo's are actually helping species.
Henry is amazing. I have one to three alligators on my property in Florida and I love to watch them grow. There’s usually a half dozen babies and out of them maybe one lives to be an adult. But they are from a foot long to 6 or 7 feet. They’d be a snack for Henry. 🐊
What do the babies die from. Is it the adults or birds or accidents? That's really special that you can watch those life cycles play out on your property.
For those curious, crocs becoming maneaters can be as simple as living near places with sickness outbreaks, really bad flooding disturbing cemeteries, or even major building projects. They used to result in a lot of dead bodies that werent easy to get rid of and the crocs may just help themselves passively.
I remember watching his show “Deadly 60” when I was in 2nd grade. Now I’m a nursing intern & still watch wildlife shows even old ones. Time flies fast.

The people caring for that Croc must've developed a really good diet for it as well. Like the amount of times he's fed, they must've worked it out perfectly 👌
Reminds of my mother-in-law
Croc has his mouth open like “Get in my belly!” 😂
Right here is the CLOSEST I ever wanna get to a Croc like that !
I soiled myself when he turned towards the camera 🤣 Good heavens, this chap has balls getting that close! What a magnificent beast! 😍
Oh he's just gorgeous!!!
Henry huh? He's beautiful
Hello Henry! You sweet "little" sweetheart you 😍💖🥰🤗😘😘
This croc is a literal gem. 💎
He's so big he doesnt look real, he actually looks like a really good replica in a dinosaur world ..until he moves then you can see the person in there...amazing
@Steve Backshall I would be starstruck too, the things henry must have experienced. Wow
Thankyou for sharing
Truly amazing and inspiring a deep respect for all animals.
Closest thing to seeing a living dinosaur. Pretty cool
How gorgeous was he???!!! I'd love to see Henry in person as well...
Henry feels like the correct name. A DISTINGUISHED man eating croc
Steve is an OG of nature documentaries
So generally Crocs start to lose their teeth around 100yrs old, he has an absurd amount of teeth for a Croc that old. IJS.
