Crocodiles instill fear in most people at any size. But crocodile conservationist, Romulus Whitaker’s fear is that the most colossal of these creatures might no longer exist. Rom suspects that human hunting may have selectively killed off crocs surpassing 20 feet in length. A sad fact considering the sophisticated adaptations and body design of crocodiles have helped them outlast even dinosaurs.
In Supersize Crocs, Rom takes viewers along as he sets off on his own hunt to find the last of the leviathans. Venturing to Ethiopia’s Lake Chamo, the riverbanks of India’s northern border with Nepal, and to the Adelaide River of Australian outback, Rom hits the hotspots of supersize croc habitats as he searches for signs of life among the brackish waters. Rom will share with viewers his insight and fascination with the cryptic world of crocs. Along the way, viewers will learn about ancient croc survival skills as well as how crocs are ideally designed to be the most successful freshwater predator.
Will he find his supersize croc among the three titans of the croc world: the Nile crocodiles, saltwater crocodiles and gharials? Tune in to find out.

This was a wonderful episode which highlighted the need to protect these rare, older animals of size from being slaughtered by animal-control agencies such as recently happened in Alabama. Game Wardens killed a 28′1″ -long alligator instead of preserving such an incredible animal. I would like to be able to send the pictures of this animal swimming with a large buck in its mouth, and the subsequent photos to Rom.
Totally misleading. I watched for an entire hour waiting for the monster crocidile that never was. Talk about anti-climatic…In the last five minutes of the show Rom concedes that he hasn,t found the Monster but….he,s sure there is one… Rom…do yourself a favor…get a haircut..
???? I am trying to find out the name of the reptile similar to alligators and crocodials ??
They have a long thin mouth….many teeth.
