One-Ton Crocodile Nabbed

– A gigantic saltwater crocodile as heavy as a Volkswagen Beetle has been captured by residents of a Philippine village. They plan to make the monster the star of a new local ecotourism park. The 21-foot, one-ton male was nabbed in a creek and could be the largest croc captured in several years. He probably won't have to be fed immediately because he recently feasted on a water buffalo he brought down on shore. "We were nervous but it's our duty to deal with a threat to the villagers," said the mayor. "When I finally stood before it, I couldn't believe my eyes." Hunters are now on the lookout for a crocodile believed to be even bigger, reports AP.
