Two large crocodiles caught in Bataraza, Palawan. The reptiles measured at least 16 feet each and were big, mean, ugly and scary. A huge 21 footer crocodile named by locals as "Lolong" was caught last year in Agusan Del Sur Province in Mindanao. Guinness World Record representatives confirmed it was the largest croc ever caught alive. Local townsfolk said crocodile sightings and attacks on humans are now becoming frequent. Experts say this is because people are rapidly encroaching on the large carnivorous reptiles' natural habitat.
Well , at least these prehistoric reptiles are only protecting their domain. These primeval creatures never attack if unprovoked or undisturbed in their natural habitat. So it's actually us humans who's at fault if we attacked by these creatures. You take their home they'll take your life and limb, sounds fair to me. :)
We have lots of crocodiles here in the Philippines. One doesn't have to go to the most remote jungles or marshlands to find them. You don't even have to go to the zoo to look for them. Do you want to know where they frequently hang out to look for unlimited sustenance? Just go the Congress, Senate, Supreme Court or to any Government Offices for that matter. There you will find 2 legged "crocodiles" roaming around in search for "food". The only difference is these "crocs" are never satisfied unlike their namesakes in the wild which after having a good meal, the crocs hibernate for a few days or weeks.
