- Gomek (1927 - March 6th 1997) was a large saltwater crocodile captured by George Craig in Papua New Guinea. He was purchased by Terri and Arthur Jones in 1985 and was kept in Ocala, Florida, for five years before being sold to the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park in Florida. For 8 years he was known for his nutria-tossing abilities and his tolerance of people. Feeders of the large croc were allowed to go into the enclosure and get as close as 1 metre from the large animal (a normally suicidal proximity) without any fear of attack. While feeders still used long tongs to feed Gomek, he was generally considered to be a "tame" crocodile and was the favorite of the alligator farm and people around the nation. After many years, Gomek died of heart disease on March 6, 1997. By then, he was a very old crocodile, and one of the largest and tamest captive crocodiles in existence. When he died, he was 5.42 m (17 ft 9 in) long, and weighed 860 kilograms (1,896 lb) - as confirmed by St. Augustine Alligator Farm - and 70 years old. There is a tribute to Gomek near his enclosure, which now houses his successor and his mate . (en)
- Gomek (1917 - 6 de março de 1997) foi um grande crocodilo de água salgada capturado por George Craig na Papua Nova Guiné. Ele foi comprado por Terri e Arthur Jones em 1985 e foi mantido em Ocala, Flórida, por cinco anos antes de ser vendido para o St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park, na Flórida. Alimentadores do grande crocodilo foram autorizados a entrar no recinto e chegar tão perto quanto 1 metro do grande animal (uma proximidade normalmente suicida) sem qualquer medo de ataque. Embora os alimentadores ainda usassem pinças longas para alimentar Gomek, ele era geralmente considerado um crocodilo "domesticado". Depois de muitos anos, Gomek morreu de doença cardíaca em 6 de março de 1997. Nessa época, ele era um crocodilo muito velho e um dos maiores e mais mansos crocodilos em cativeiro que existiam. Quando ele morreu, ele tinha 5,42 m (17 pés) de comprimento e pesava 860 kg - conforme confirmado pela Fazenda de Jacarés Santo Agostinho - e 80 anos de idade. (pt)
