Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
Not reptilian, as you might expect, but rather a ridiculously overpriced, stupidly coloured plastic sandal. A very, very big one.
There’s not much more to be said about Crocs that hasn’t been said already, and yet someone has managed to devote an entire blog to hating their very existence.
Sheesh, the stupid topics blogs manage to base themselves on huh?
Anyway, here’s some links to some giant crocodiles and giant alligators as seen by satellite!

In other news…………can anyone actually go someway in explain why there is a massive Croc here and anyone got any pics? I’m sure its just a promotional thing but be intrigued to see a ground level shot none the less.
