The saltwater crocodile, also known as estuarine or Indo-Pacific crocodile, (Crocodylus porosus) is the largest of all living reptiles. It is found in suitable habitats in Northern Australia, the eastern coast of India and parts of Southeast Asia.
The Philippines hunters captured the largest crocodile of the world. Tt weights 1077 kg (about 2400 pounds) and the length is 21 ft. The Wildlife official Ronnie Sumiller, who led the hunt for the 21-foot (6.1 metre) crocodile, nicknamed Lolong, said the reptile was under close observation for signs of stress. It's actually normal for crocodiles to be stressed after being trapped and handled. Lolong has been placed in an 800-square metre pen, secured by concrete walls topped with wire in Bunawan township. But now, after 1 month, Lolong ate 7 kilograms of pork.
