Watch this amazing video showing Henry, the world's oldest crocodile, with Steve Backshall at the Crocworld Conservation Centre in South Africa. Henry is probably thinking "if I was 80 years younger, I would have him for breakfast"!!

Henry was a man-eating crocodile born in Botswana around 1900. Henry developed a notorious reputation among the local tribes in Botswana, who, desperate to end his bloodthirsty reign, sought the help of a famous hunter, Sir Henry Neumann, after whom the crocodile is named. Rather than killing the beast, Henry was caught and sent to spend the rest of his life in captivity.
