THE world’s oldest crocodile poses for a snap — as he celebrates turning 124 this year.
Henry, who weighs over 110st and is 16ft long, has reportedly fathered more than 10,000 babies.
The randy reptile lives with six “girlfriends” at the Crocworld Conservation Centre in Scottburgh, South Africa, where he moved 30 years ago.
The Nile croc was born in Botswana’s Okavango Delta in December 1900.
His birthplace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a vast inland delta formed in the landlocked southern African nation.
Henry boasts terrifying fang-like teeth and huge feet as well as dry, scaly skin that’s over a century old.
He’s so humongous that his length almost matches that of a minibus.
One of the oldest crocs in captivity, Henry has a dark past that goes back decades.
It’s believed he ate kids from a Botswana tribe who grew so fed up with his bloodthirsty antics they enlisted the help of a hunter in 1903.
Sir Henry Neumann was the renowned hunter to whom the beast owes his name.
They decided to sentence the reptile to a lifetime of captivity abroad rather than brutally slaughtering him like his victims.
Nile crocodiles live in different types of aquatic environments like lakes, rivers, swamps and marshlands.
