The World's largest crocodile? 🐊 STAN WINSTON (@STANWINSTONSCHOOL) BUILT A 30-FOOT ANIMATRONIC CROCODILE FOR LAKE PLACID. Lake Placid is a Steve Miner film about the search for a man-eating, thirty-foot crocodile in a lake in Maine. Stan Winston and his crew realized Lake Placid’s crocodile as a full-size animatronic puppet - complete with moving head and tail and snapping jaws - that would function underwater.
