Giant 1 ton Crocodile Caught in Philippines

After a three-week hunt, villagers and veteran hunters have captured a one-ton 21-foot saltwater crocodile which will become the star of a planned ecotourism park in the Philippines. It’s one of the largest to be captured alive in recent years. The reptile’s domain was in Agusan, a poverty-stricken region 500 miles south east of Manila, where villagers had lived in fear of it for more than 20 years. When the animal was finally captured it took at least 100 men to pull it out of the creek and a crane to lift is on the back of a truck. Next stop for the huge crocodile is a new eco-tourism park in Agusan, where it will be a main attraction. The scales weighed the croc about 2,370 pounds (1,075 kilograms).
