This is a genuine photo of a crocodile. However, it was not 28 feet long, nor was it killed in 1957.
on social media accompanied by the caption:"The only known photograph of the 28-foot crocodile that was killed in Queensland, Australia in 1957":
The picture was likely taken in 1914 along the banks of the Roper River in the Northern Territory of Australia. While we have yet to find the original source of this picture, we did find a scan of it that seemingly shows its original caption:"Miss Cross and Mr Joynt near crocodile, Roper River 1914, CMS Hart Collection, Darwin."
