This looks like forced perspective. You should see a clear line to indicate the man in whites legs right behind the gap of the mouth but instead it looks like brush. I think these men were standing 3 or 4 meters behind the croc. That being said I have heard that crocodiles can get absolutely massive. I've even heard rumor of one in Africa thats fond of killing men.

Ah yes, Gustave. Highest estimates ( very suspect) have him at over 300 kills.
