28ft Crocodile, Queensland, Australia, 1957

This is the only image that remains of the 28 foot long crocodile that was shot and killed in Queensland, Australia in 1957. The hunter who killed it was Krystina Pawlowski, a Polish immigrant who gained quite a reputation for being an accomplished crocodile hunter. A crocodile of this size was quite uncommon in the area and Krystina killed the reptile in one shot, earning the nickname “One Shot” and getting a place in the Guinness World Records.
