Crocodilian growth rate can vary tremendously based on food intake/temperatures. While she might be big for her age, "normal" for 4 years is anywhere between 2-6 feet. Individuals in Florida and the "Bayou States" will grow considerably faster as a result of longer growing season than those found in states like North Carolina that experiences longer, harsher winters. Longer growing season means more available food, higher faster metabolism, etc. Many alliigators don't even aestivate because there's no need to in a lot of southern locations.so how old is she really? based on the picture I didn't think she was 4 years old

Same reason I conducted that experiment on channel catfish growth rate in tropical water vs. temperate regions. The growth rate is more than twice as fast down south for channels and why there are no world records taken from northern latitudes for Channel, Flathead, Blue cats etc
