Crocodile: 2,259 Pounds And 20 Feet Long   A saltwater crocodile
in the Phiippines has been declared the world's largest in
captivity.  The crocodile weighs more than 2,200 pounds, is 20
feet long and eats up to 22 pounds of meat per week.  He's
become a tourist attraction in the town of Bunawan, where an
ecotourism park was built around his enclosure.  "Lolong" is the
croc's name. He was captured last year after a three-week long
hunt, which came after the crocodile was believed to have killed
a girl and a fisherman in the town.  The Guinness Book of World
Records recently declared him the largest saltwater crocodile in
captivity.  powered by Disqus
