I think there is a bit of camera-angle trickery going on there, but still, it is Biiiiiig. Big old bull salties can reach 6 metres and weigh over 1,500 kg, and aggressively defend their territory.
So if a big one establishes itself in a piece of river too close to human habitation, it gets trapped and relocated to a crocodile farm/tourist trap, where it lives out it's days as shown here. I wish they'd lower bikini chicks in glass cages into my living room.
