Giant Crocodile

A massive crocodile weighing one ton (1,075kg) has been caught by villagers in a remote area in the Philippines. At 21ft. (6.4m), it is thought to be one of the biggest crocodile to be caught alive.


After weeks of hide-and-seek with the crocodile hunters, the big lizard was finally caught in one of the traps set by the hunters. It is reported that some residents of the village was gone and is believed to be attacked by the said crocodile that was caught. One of which reportedly gone was a little girl.


After the big croc was caught, many of the villagers were thankful because they can now sleep tight without the thought of being eaten by the giant animal. The animal was then turned over to the authorities for it to be kept safe and away from humans so that it can't harm anyone anymore.


It is reported that one of the hunters was hurt during the capture of the said animal. The crocodile swept its huge tail and hit the leg of one of the hunters that cause it to be fractured and broken. The injured hunter was then immediately taken to the nearby hospital to be cared for.


Now that the big crocodile was caught, it is said that there is another crocodile living in the said area which is bigger than the caught one. And while villagers was happy with the caught of the first, they are still in danger to be fallen victim for the second and bigger crocodile.

Crocodile hunters said that they will pursue the other crocodile up until December and hopefully they will capture it by then. Because when December comes, the rains will start falling and the water level will be as high as ever and it will then be hard for them to operate in that said condition.
