I wouldn't be too surprised to hear about an island form that didn't get that large. I also wouldn't be too surprised if a neonate from that population got a lot bigger than its parents, given unlimited food throughout its lifetime. There is a population of dwarf crocs that is currently being studied. Opinions are about evenly divided on whether the animals remain small because of a scarcity of resources or whether their size is really genetic as opposed to environmental.
