skookum Posted July 2, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2012 A seven metre-long crocodile has been confirmed as the largest in captivity.Lolong weighs more than a ton, and has taken the top spot from an Australian crocodile which measured more than five metres, a Guinness World Records spokesman said. The giant reptile has been blamed for a number of deadly attacks in a remote area in the southern Philippines and was eventually caught in the remote town of Bunawan. http://news.sky.com/story/954807/giant-one-ton-crocodile-enters-record-books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drayno Posted July 3, 2012 #16 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Wonder if croc meat is any good. It is delicious. In the article: "He said he saw a larger crocodile escape when Lolong was captured, and villagers remain wary of fishing there at night. Another team of hunters has been formed and he is seeking government permission to start hunting for the escaped crocodile." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawken Posted July 3, 2012 #17 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Wonder if croc meat is any good. I'm sure it's edible. Cajuns in the swamps of Loiusianna eat gator. The tail is the best part. but you want to trim the fat off or it will make the meat taste horrible. Native Americans used gator fat to repel mosquitos.
