"Lolong" Largest Crocodile In The World at 21 feet and weighing 2,370lbs
The capture of the biggest crocodile on earth was the major news that spread worldwide especially in the archipelago of the Philippines. Straight from Agusan del Sur last Sept, 2, 2011.
Lolong, the largest Pinoy Crocodile and the largest crocodile in the world so far measuring 6.4 meters of 21 feet was captured at the Agusan marsh has been in the care of Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center (PWRCC).
Lolong has finally started to eat. According to a report by ABS CBN News, Lolong ate 7 kilograms of pork last night. Lolong’s keepers have become worried over the past weeks for his refusal to eat, and feared that the crocodile’s health would deteriorate. However, experts have said that this is just part of Lolong’s adjustment to life in captivity.
At 6.4 meters and 2,370 lbs, the crocodile has been recognized by the Guiness Book of World Records to be the largest salt water crocodile in captivity. Local officials have named the crocodile 'Lolong' and are planning to use it as a tourist attraction.
Reportedly, another Philippine crocodile is even bigger than Lolong – his mate. Agusan authorities are currently preparing plans for her capture. A bigger enclosure is also being readied.
There isn't any videos of Lolong eating yet because he's still adjusting to life in captivity, but here is some footage of some of the other large saltwater crocodiles in captivity in the Philippines -- eating... seriously, these incredible giants are HUGE. I would love to one day see them in person.
This is "Lolong" the largest crocodile caught and also a Guinness Book World Record holder.
This is "Lapu-Lapu" located at Crocolandia in Cebu, Philippines feeding... the guy feeding him has balls.
Here is "Pangil" eating from the Davao Crocodile Farm, Riverfront Corporate City, Philippines. "Pangil" is about 18 feet long and consumes about 5 kilos of meat twice a week. He use to be the largest until "Lolong" was captured.The Davao Crocodile Park is a major tourist destination.
This little Lyre bird can mimic nearly any sound. Someone should teach it how to say, "Help! I've been turned into a Lyre bird!" Or someone in the area should go to the zoo every day and play some dubstep music.
This is Chook, s male Superb Lyrebird at Adelaide Zoo in Australia. They've had a lot of construction going on lately and Chook has picked up many of the sounds.
You can find out more information on Chook and download free Chook ringtones here: http://tinyurl.com/n42w79
We think we can hear the following sounds:
1. Hammer 2. Chainsaw 3. Jack hammer 4. Lawn mower hitting sticks 5. Leaf blower starting 6. Power drill 7. Wood saw 8. Human voices 9. Two-way radio 10.Worker whistling He makes lots of different bird calls as well. What can you hear?
If a tree falls in the forest and only a Lyrebird hears it, does it make a remix?
I am a server at a busy restaurant and I can answer this question. We don't have time for trays. Trays mean putting trays away. Not using a tray gets you more tips because people think you are cool. Using a tray, in this industry, for things other than mass amounts of food (and you can fit a lot of plates in your hands just like this guy with the cups) means you are inexperienced or a wuss. I honestly think he was going this slowly for the camera. He is probably a rock-awesome ninja.
Funny watchin that dudes reaction in the back:
00:47 no way is this guy for real?
00:58 hes actually gonna try...
01:02 holy f*ck..
The video cuts off halfway through the feat. Watching him unload the tea to an impressed table would have been very satisfying. Though, I believe he will throw them on the table (after a show of dance, of course) and they will safely fall in front of the guests.

Villagers and veteran hunters have captured a one-ton saltwater crocodile which they plan to make the star of a planned ecotourism park in a southern Philippine town. About 100 people had to pull the crocodile, which weighs about 2,370 pounds (1,075 kilograms), from the creek to a clearing where a crane lifted it into a truck.
The saltwater crocodile captured over the weekend in Bunawan, Agusan del Sur, is to become the star of a planned ecotourism and conservation park near the Agusan Marsh, Bunawan Mayor Edwin Elorde said Tuesday.
“We will take advantage of this crocodile as a tourism attraction and we hope it will help us generate income and jobs,” Elorde told the Inquirer by phone. The saltwater crocodile, now named Lolong—after Ernesto “Lolong” Conate, a Palawan hunter who was hired to help catch the crocodile but died of stroke while laying the groundwork for the plan days before—was captured after a 24-day hunt by a team of crocodile experts and villagers near Lake Mihaba, one of several bodies of water within the Agusan Marsh, the country’s largest marshland.
The hunt was launched after a local fisherman went missing near a creek early last month and a reported crocodile attack on a carabao. Villagers also claimed that a crocodile attacked and killed a 12-year-old girl, identified as Rowena Romano, in the same waters on March 7, 2009. Elorde expressed hopes that Lolong, which measures 21 feet (6.4 meter) and weighs 1,075 kilograms, would help boost tourism and income for the sleepy town of about 37,000 people.
Elorde said the people of Bunawan believe that Lolong is not the only large crocodile lurking in the 113,910-hectare Agusan Marsh, which straddles several municipalities in Agusan. “Maybe a thousand or more,” he said when asked for an estimate. But Elorde clarified that there was no more hunt for crocodiles in the municipality, contrary to some reports.
He also said that the hunt for Lolong was launched only to appease residents who became after hearing reports of a crocodile attacking animals and humans. This early, Elorde said that crocodile conservation groups and researchers have signified interest to support plans about Lolong, which is now housed in a huge metal cage, becoming the main attraction of the planned ecopark.
To heighten public awareness, Elorde said they were planning to enlist Lolong, who is believed to be 50 years old, in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest and oldest crocodile captured alive in recent years. “We are eyeing a Guinness Record for Lolong,” he said.
Mario Eludo, technical director for protected areas and wildlife in Caraga, said he saw no problem in the plan to place the crocodile in a new habitat for tourism purposes. “So far, the DENR [Department of Environment and Natural Resources] sees no problem with the planned ecotourism park. Whether or not the crocodile can adapt to the new habitat will be the subject of our study,” he said. Eludo also said placing the crocodile in a contained environment would provide researchers, environmentalists and scientists an opportunity to observe its nature and behavior.
This is awesome. This would be perfect for college students, disaster relief, third world countries, refugees, etc... the possibilities are endless. IKEA needs to work with these guys and get the Casulo box in its stores!
Casulo, a new concept for mobile living originated in June 2007 as a part of the dissertation of Marcel Krings and Sebastian Mühlhäuser at the Köln International School of Design in Cologne and is patent-protected (Gebrauchsmuster).
Until now, Casulo exists only as a prototype, but we're looking forward to go into production as soon as possible.
Not only is this guy talented, but he has awesome taste in music, too. He went on semi final of "La France a un incroyable talent" the equivalent of "America's got talent" TV show. I saw him several times in Paris, unfortunately it's been some years he's been doing this in the streets, he should be doing a show on Cirque du Soleil or a cruise ship or something.
This was Iya Traore performing outside of Sacre Coeur in Paris, Montemarte, France.
Must See Cirque du Soleil - especially LIVE. Something to do before you die: see a Cirque du Soleil show! Amazing Cirque du Soleil performance of The Wheel Of Death. Make sure you watch the video in it's entirety, as these athlete performers ramp up the danger like you cannot imagine or understand. ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
This Orangutan is from the Tama Zoo in Tokyo, Japan. Even their Orangutans are smarter...
Jeez, she even wrings the damn thing out like a pro! I think they can finally be released safely now and probably find jobs and stuff too. Seriously though, how can anyone not respect these sentient creatures with whom we share SO much?
