"This crocodile was found in New Orleans swimming down the street. 21 FT long, 4,500 lbs, around 80 years old minimum. Specialists said that he was looking to eat humans because he was too old to catch animals. This crocodile was killed by the army last Sunday at 3:00 pm, currently he is in the freezer at the Azur hotel."
Plans are to look in his stomach to see who they might find.
Update: Drat! I thought we might be able to account for the vast disparity between the estimated Katrina death toll of 10,000 and the actual death toll. For crying out loud, all we needed were a measley 9200 bodies, all of which could easily have been packed into the intestinal track of this baby. Commenter David spoils all the fun by pointing out that these pictures have been around for a couple of years.
