A massive saltwater crocodile weighing one ton (1,075 kg) has been caught by villagers in a town in the southern Philippines. dozens of villagers and experts ensnared the male crocodile after a three-week hunt. At 21 ft (6.4m), it is thought to be one of the biggest ever caught alive. The crocodile killed a water buffalo in an attack witnessed by villagers last month and was also suspected of having attacked a fisherman who went missing in July. It could be one of the largest crocodiles to be captured alive in recent years.
About 100 people had to pull the crocodile, which weighs about 2,370 pounds from the creek to a clearing where a crane lifted it into a truck. This biggest crocodile was placed in a fenced cage in an area where the town plans to build an ecotourism park for species found in a vast marshland in Agusan, an impoverished region about 515 miles southeast of Manila. villagers were so happy that they would be able to turn the dangerous crocodile.
