And someone posted pics and a real measurement of 8ft or almost 8ft in reality? I saved pictures someone had of 2 croc monitors claimed to be 9ft to 10ft long by the zoos, both were found to be much less, between 7-8ft. Maybe it was a European zoo, and one in California, cant remember off the top of my head.
Awhile back someone asked, as was done before for pics with something for size reference from 2 exagerated animals, I think it may have been Sam Sweet that posted both with real measurements from seeing them in person.
I still say if its claimed they should have no problem proving it, right? I emailed 3 sources of supposed 10ft croc monitors, all admitted they either had no crocs bigger than 4ft in their posession or "maybe they were around 7ft" was what they admitted, that or never responded.
