That guy on the left being the size of a crocodile is a terrifying thought.

If it makes it any better, it would be a sort of small crocodile, at "only" 8 feet (2.6 meters ish ish) long.

crocodiles actually get much bigger than that...think record is somewhere about 7m and about 1.1 metric tonnes!
