A 2,000 pound crocodile thought to be among the largest of his kind has died at a popular Miami tourist attraction.
Hank the Crocosaurus was 47 years old when handlers found him dead at the bottom of his pool Saturday at Jungle Island.
Hank was 3 feet tall and 20 feet long, twice as big as the other crocodiles there.
It took eight men and a lift to get Hank out of his pool. A cause of death has not been determined.
There is no such thing as a crocosaurus, but park officials adopted the name because of Hank's mammoth size.
