I'm talking about Crocodile's as large as Lolong or even bigger. Do you guys think today there's still very large monster Crocodiles out there yet to be seen?
In my opinion I would not be surprised if there are still some out there that big some as big as Lolong and maybe bigger. Also maybe there are a few getting to 25 feet long and 3,000 lbs. I would not be surprised as well if there's a freak specimen out there getting to 30 feet long and 4,000 lbs. I got that idea of this because like many Reptiles. Crocodile's continue to grow throughout their lives.
If so give your out reason why or why not?

Definitely. As a matter of fact check this out: www.underwatertimes.com/news.php?article_id=51790108324 There's a saltwater crocodile in Orissa, India that's said to be 23 feet long. Guiness WR accepts it. Also from the same link: Wildlife experts, however, argued that the largest crocodile so far found in the Bhitarkanika was almost 25 ft which could be traced from the skull preserved by the Kanika Royal Family. The crocodile, probably was shot dead near Dhamara during 1926 and later its skull was preserved by the then Kanika King. The crocodile experts said as per the parameters, the crocodile would be about 25 ft since the size of the skull was measured 1/7th of the total length of the body.Then there is Krys the Crocodile claimed to be 8.63 meters. Unfortunately we don't have a skull and the pictures were lost. So we'll never know for sure. P.S- Any one of these crocs vs a bull hippo would've definitely been something to see. |

Somewhere out there. There must be one at least 30 feet long and 4,000 lbs. Just iamgine the size of that.  |

A 30 foot crocodile would have to weigh more than just 2 tons. More like 3-4 tons.
I heard the biggest crocodile ever reported was a mind numbing 10 METERS LONG.
Imagine that thing against a bull elephant. In fact, maybe I will create a thread for it sometime later.

Crocodiles grow throughout their lives and since some have been know to live for a hundred years I imagine its quite possible.
