FUN FACT - the picture of Mike standing in the crate with the painted crocodile, is actually the exact crate that was used to ship Pearl, the world’s largest living crocodile. Pearl is about 16 feet long, and the crate was traced and painted to show his true size, which really puts into perspective how massive he is compared to Mike.
The name "Pearl" actually comes from the fact that he was the owner’s prize-winning crocodile his "prized possession" or his "pearl." Mike also got to be up close and personal with him, which was an incredible experience!
