"Responsible for eating at least one fisherman."

I heard about this on the news. For some reason I remember hearing someone say that there is an even bigger one out there that they have yet to capture.

EDIT - Just thought I would join the hysteria and agree: holy shit that thing is indeed huge.

Kinda sad they killed it though.

They didnt.

"
Despite the suspected death of the fisherman, the crocodile is destined for fame.
It is expected to be the star attraction at a new eco-tourism park that is being set up in Agusan.
'It will be the biggest star of the park,' said Mr Elorde.
'The villagers, of course, are very happy that they have been able to turn this dangerous crocodile from a threat into an asset.'"

I don't know whether this is a record holder, but it is certainly the largest confirmed specimen currently alive, though there is a crocodile called Gustave who may be bigger and is responsible for the deaths of dozens of people. Apparently soon after this crocodile was caught another larger one was seen in the area. Considering how big it is, he could quite easily be over a hundred years old.

I'm just going to say that, as a U.S. citizen, we need to acquire that thing immediately and find some massively important use for it in our armed forces. Fuck guns and bombs, we have a crocodile that weighs one ton, and is already plated in armor.

How the fuck do you capture that ALIVE?

If a crocodile does the mistake to close his mouth,you can hold his jaws closed with a rubber band.The muscles for opening his mouth are very weak.

The muscles for closing his mouth is another story though..
