A HUGE crocodile known as Lolong has brought pride, fear, tourism revenue and attention to the remote southern Philippines town where it was captured. And now it has claimed a world record.
Guinness World Records declared the giant, blamed for deadly attacks before it was captured last September, the world's largest saltwater crocodile in captivity. It measures 6.17 meters and weighs more than a ton. The news sparked celebrations in Bunawan, a farming town of 37,000, but the mayor said there were fears that Lolong was not alone in marshes and fishing areas.
