MIAMI - A 2,000 pound crocodile believed 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 three 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.
