The large crocodile weighs around 2,370 pounds or 1,075 kilograms. The mayor added that the park for species in Agusan(an impoverished region about 515 miles southeast of Manila) would certainly be a great tourist attraction with the giant crocodile the center of attraction, as it has become the biggest captive crocodile in the world.
At first the villagers and members of the crocodile farm staff set four traps, which the giant crocodile destroyed. Then they went ahead using sturdier traps with steel cables, one of which finally caught the giant crocodile.
Elorde told, “We were quite shaken, but it is our responsibility to engage with this threat which was causing to the villagers. When I saw finally in front of my eyes, I couldn’t believe myself.”
Around 100 people had to make efforts to pull this powerful crocodile from the bay to a clearing where a crane was called to lift it into a truck. Despite the captivation, the villagers are cautious because there are many crocodiles who still roam in the outskirts of the town of about 37,000 people.
