This is Henry, a crocodile that was captured back in 1903 by elephant catcher called Sir Henry. They are guessing he was born around 1900, but since he was in the wild that aren’t exactly sure. They celebrate his birthday on December 16th making him 125 years old this year. Go Henry!
Henry measures over 16 feet 5 inches from snout to tail and weighs 1,543 pounds. Henry has fathered thousands of offspring and currently resides at Crocworld Conservation where he’s lived since 1985. He resides with another senior crocodile, Colgate, and six wives! Henry is likely a very happy croc. They are planning a big celebration for Henry’s birthday this year and rightly so. I’d love to be there, but since most of his likely will not be able to attend you can check back in to their website and see some pics and videos of the day.
Here’s a little video of Henry, it’s amazing to see his size!
Have a great Wednesday everyone.
