World Giant crocodile captured in Philippines – but a bigger one may be at large.

A one-tonne crocodile which may be the biggest ever caught alive has been captured in the Philippines, and officials say they are now hunting for an even bigger beast.

Villagers and veteran hunters ensnared a 6.1-metre (20ft) saltwater crocodile over the weekend after a three-week hunt in Bunawan township in Agusan del Sur province, where terrified villagers have reported at least one deadly attack.

The crocodile – weighing 1,075 kilograms (170 stone) and estimated to be at least 50 years old – is the biggest caught alive in the Philippines in recent years. Wildlife officials were trying to confirm whether it was the largest such catch in the world, Theresa Mundita Lim of the government's Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau said.

Guinness World Records lists a saltwater crocodile caught in Australia as the largest crocodile in captivity, measuring 5.48 metres. Saltwater crocodiles can live for more than 100 years and grow to 7 metres.

Nah and there's no need to kill everything that you see.
Seriously, It's actually pretty rare to see such a big Crocodile.

Yes there is. There is a big need for me to kill everything that I see. I routinely swerve out of my way while driving to run down chipmunks.

And also local news reported that sadly one of the hunters died from stroke resulting from exhaustion.
