A Texas man on safari in Zimbabwe took down an enormous crocodile that had been something of an apocryphal monster said to lurk in the pond of a village. The remarkable kill was reportedly made by Garrett Wales during a hunting trip at the country's Humani Ranch earlier this month. Shortly after his ten-day excursion began, the man learned of a local legend which claimed that a massive crocodile called an area irrigation pond home. "No one we knew had actually seen" the mysterious beast, Wales explained, but the creature apparently boasted a rather fearsome reputation among area residents who use the water for all manner of needs and understandably feared encountering the 'monster' whenever they visited the site.
