1964 Press Photo Ex-Governor Tom Bolack & stuffed 17-foot crocodile in Colorado

Crocodiles (General).Tom Bolack (left), former governor of New Mexico, lends a guiding hand yesterday as a stuffed 17-foot crocodile he shot in Africa is lowered to a truck in Denver, Colorado. The giant amphibian was too large to go through the door of the taxidermist's shop. Bolack said he will have the croc crated and shipped to his home in Farmington, New Mexico.
