    Largest saltwater croc in captivity

    Man could you imagine seeing this dinosaur sunbathing in your back yard?

    20.24 feet long, weighs more than a ton. Kinda makes me sad old Steve Irwin isn't still around to see this one.

    I wonder if Chuck has seen this guy cause he's in that neck of the woods. It looks well-fed.

    Who else wants a pet dinosaur after seeing this?

    It was a big thing in the news when they captured it. Said to have eaten some water buffs. Luckily none of those are where I am.

    It was named Lolong after one of the people who searched for it died from a stroke. They said the hunt and capture was so hard it killed the guy. They're searching for its mate which they say is bigger than Lolong. I say let it roam.

    That is a big one! Sounds like there may be an even larger one still out there.

    In fact, Elorde says he spotted an even larger crocodile escape when he and about 100 others combined their efforts to capture Lolong...
    Next time someone wants to clone a dinosaur they should have to clean the enclosure for this Croc and then ask them if they think it a still good idea.
