One ton Saltwater Crocodile captured alive

[CA-35]

It weighs 2370 pounds and is 21 feet long. :shock: :shock: They hunted it for 3 weeks, set numerous traps which he destroyed :shock: , then snared him with steel cables. It required a crane to lift him in to a truck. Then they dumped him in a caged area to be held for a future planned ecotourism park. I think their intentions are noble but who is going to feed and care for this thing in the interim? I think by the time this park is built, if ever, this guy is going to be 300 pairs of boots! :x

You know, the article was a lot more fun when I thought the croc was in Florida...

Ah!.. Salt water croc is another animal compared to our little gators down here.
I always paddle around a couple of them when I kayak the Loxahatchee river, and glad they're not as big as these monsters... there would be no room for me to squeeze my kayak around them! :lol:
Anything over 10 feet here is considered a big one.

Sorry to disappoint you Frono. :wink: So to makeup for that on behalf of the Florida LTG'ers I'm going to send you a one-way ticket to a beautiful resort island. Ramree Island. I hear the marsh tours are stunning at night. :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:
