"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.

Visitors Feeding Live Goat to Lions

For $40.00 dollars visitors can feed the lions at the wild animal park in one of 80 zoo parks in China.

Other animals may also be purchased; chickens, goose, goats, sheep and other livestock. Ranging from $5-$40 to help keep admission prices low.

The Chinese say they try to keep this as natural as possible. I suspect they don't get fed too often, judging by the way they frenzied upon the poor goat.

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?

A law of nature, don't f*ck with a Rhino. I wonder how it ended? Was the Warthog gored, did it get up and walk it off? Stupid video editor! Clearly these beasts don't belong in the same environment. Stupid third world sh*thole zoos.

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?
