Not only are crocodiles present throughout Australia, but they’re also huge.
This saltwater croc caught on film is estimated to be about five and a half meters–or some 18 feet–in length. Sure… the dinosaurs went extinct, but with creatures like this still around, the question remains: who needs them? We’re not sure how you feel, but we would certainly respond “not us.”

But crocodiles aren’t the only freaky animals that call
Australia home. Another fine example of the country’s creepily gigantic
animal life is the grey-headed flying fox, technically a “megabat” but
large enough to earn the “fox” name. An average wingspan of over three
feet makes this creature a truly frightening sight. Perhaps craziest of
all is the fact that these creatures aren’t confined to the
wilderness–in fact, here they are filling the daytime sky in Sydney.
? Yeah,
I’ll say…
