Getting the giant crocodile is heavier than a ton

Villagers and veteran hunters have caught a giant saltwater crocodile weighing 1,075 kg, 6.4 m long in a town in southern Philippines.

AP quoted the mayor Edwin Cox Elorde said dozens of villagers and experts were male alligators trapped along a creek in the town of Bunawan, Agusan del Sur province after three weeks of hunting.Mr. Elorde quoted the local crocodile experts that, it's probably one of the largest crocodile ever captured alive in recent years.

After seeing the animals, the hunters had set four traps and alligators were destroyed. They then use the trap more certain than with steel cables. Finally, one of which caught the giants on Monday 7 weeks ago. About 100 people were mobilized to pull the animal to the creek to a large green field, which is then taken up a crane truck to go.

According to Elorde, months before the crocodile had bitten to death by a buffalo in the presence of some people. It is also suspected perpetrators attacked a fisherman missing in July last year. He said the government had to resort to the help of experts at a crocodile farm west of Palawan province. "We were worried, but have the task of eliminating a threat to people" exchanges with Elorde AP by telephone. "When facing a crocodile, I could not believe my eyes."

Crocodiles are kept in a cage for sure. The government plans to build a town of eco-tourism park animals are found in large swamps in Agusan, a poor area about 830km from the capital Manila to the southeast. "It will be the brightest star in the park," said Elorde cheerfully adding that people are very happy for having dangerous animals turned into a resource for them.

Despite the huge crocodile has been caught, but people still be wary, because few others still remember Pop in the suburbs of the town with about 37,000 people. They were also warned to avoid going into the wetlands alone at night.
