Well that proves it. God's a dick.

"Sure! I'll make you immortal! I'll let you grow for ever!"

(koff koff... at least until you get so big you can't eat enough calories to remain alive, and slowly starve to death, heh heh heh...)

I want some rich guy somewhere to go 'Alright, how big can one of these things really get?' and set up a preserve of some kind.

Stock it with big fat cows, and a few big saltwater crocodiles, see what happens.

They'll have to rebrand Jaws if this happens...

Lake Placid is a great film too!

I'm kind of surprised this isn't already happening in zoos someplace.

Allowing a crocodile to regularly consume live prey that has no hope of escape is probably seen as animal cruelty.

Though I think it's also cruelty to prevent a predator from hunting and killing.
