The beast was caught, after a
three-week hunt, in a creek in the Philippines by villagers who had
lived in fear of it for more than 20 years.
Its nearest rival in the monster stakes is
Cassius, an Australian salt-water crocodile which measures a 21 ft long
- and which is still on the loose in the Northern Territory.
About 100 people had to pull the
crocodile to a clearing
'It
was big enough to swallow three men all at once,' says local mayor
Giant catch: Mayor Cox Elorde of Bunawan
township, Agusan del Sur Province, pretends to measure a huge crocodile
which was captured by residents and crocodile farm staff along a creek
in Bunawan
Price haul: Residents use their hands to measure
the 21ft salt-water crocodile
Long tail: Dozens of local residents gather
around the animal, which is believed to have killed a fisherman
Posing: One of the heavily armed captors touches
the beast for the camera.
