"A person seized in the water by an Estuarine crocodile has little chance of escaping without serious injury, if at all. And the larger crocodiles, as apex predators, will most likely consider humans in their vicinity fair prey. They also can be cannibals, the museum said. "Small crocodiles feed frequently on small prey, such as insects and crustaceans, whereas larger individuals feed less often and on bigger prey, including water birds, sea turtles, and mammals up to the size of water buffalo," according to the Australian Museum. Saltwater crocodiles like these Guinness champs are not picky eaters, it seems, and as they get bigger the variety of prey they can gobble up increases. Since the Guinness World Record for largest croc applies to living animals, Lolong lost his badge of honor and Cassius was again crowned the world's largest living crocodile in captivity. 10, 2013, Lolong died in captivity at Davao Crocodile Park on the Philippine island of Mindanao, according to CNN.
