Giant saltwater crocodile captured alive in Philippines




Giant saltwater crocodile captured alive in the Phillipines.  This 21 foot giant was caught and the monster weighed 1 ton!! Can you imagine seeing this thing walking around your neighborhood.  The crocodile — weighing 1,075 kilograms and estimated to be at least 50 years old — is the biggest to be caught alive in the Philippines in recent years. Wildlife officials were trying to confirm whether it was the largest such catch in the world, said Theresa Mundita Lim of the government’s Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau.  Guinness World Records lists a saltwater crocodile caught in Australia as the largest crocodile in captivity, measuring 5.48 metres. Saltwater crocodiles can live for more than 100 years and grow to seven metres. I know the villagers are happy that this monster was caught! WOW
