Title: *** 2,370 pound - Giant crocodile captured alive in Philippines* Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on September 05, 2011, 11:04:44 AM http://news.yahoo.com/giant-crocodile-captured-alive-philippines-134625838.html
Quote MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Villagers and veteran hunters have captured a one-ton saltwater crocodile which they plan to make the star of a planned ecotourism park in a southern Philippine town, an official said Monday. Mayor Edwin Cox Elorde said dozens of villagers and experts ensnared the 21-foot (6.4-meter) male crocodile along a creek in Bunawan township in Agusan del Sur province after a three-week hunt. It could be one of the largest crocodiles to be captured alive in recent years, he said, quoting local crocodile experts. Elorde said the crocodile killed a water buffalo in an attack witnessed by villagers last month and was also suspected of having attacked a fisherman who went missing in July.

I hope it's a concrete fence that they put around him/her, that dude could take down anything else. :o
