Steve Irwin would be proud to see this – the worlds largest crocodile caught alive in the Philippines. These huge crocodiles can be challenging to catch alive, but 100 mean teamed up to make sure this 21 foot croc was caught unharmed. The massive crocodile will become the main attraction at a new Eco-tourism park being built in Agusan.

At least 100 men were required to pull the huge reptile on to the banks of the creek where, after a great deal of difficulty, it was bound up and then lifted by crane on to the back of a truck.
They weren’t going to let the victory pass without having their photo taken, so many of the villagers posed beside their scaly captive before it was driven off to a confined area.

I have seen plenty of crocodiles at the zoo, but never in the wild. If I ever come across one though, I’ll be keeping my distance. An Israeli fisherman learned the hard way to keep his distance from crocs when a massive 4 metre long crocodile took a lunge at him. He escaped with all his body parts intact, but promises he wont get so close during his next encounter with a croc. Sounds like a solid plan to me.

Jumping crocodile
I was shocked – the animal clearly wanted to kill me…
