World's Largest Crocodile Dies ):

Lolong was over 20 feet long and weighed one ton when he was found floating belly up in the pond of an ecotourism park in Manilla, Phillipines. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, he held the world record for the world's largest captive alligator. How this one ton crocodile was brought into captivity is hard to imagine. It took the strength of 100 people to pull him from a trap that villagers had placed in a creek to capture him. Lolong had been blamed for the  death of a child and a fisherman who went missing on the creek, as well as being blamed for attacking and killing many water buffaloes who stopped at the creek for a drink. After it was captured, the massive crocodile was kept in captivity because of the tourism it attracted to the otherwise unknown town. Lolong's death is being mourned in the Phillipines, however he won't need to be missed because he is being preserved and kept in a museum in order to maintain the tourism he attracted.
