a huge crocodile was found in pinas O_O

thanks for sharing the article and the video^^ i guess that must be scary then to swim in those waters in agusan ahah i love to swim but knowing that a crocodile could get out of there no thanks i mean i wish we could all live in peace without having to capture those species but such a big animal can be really dangerous.

thanks for the links^^ i would be afraid to swim in that river though. maybe there is other one like lolong or even bigger^^ even by boat if is a thin one, it might be dangerous. the crocodile might turn the boat upside down so scary!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolong another link in wikipedia about lolong :O) haha... i wish i can tell you more what is in there, if the river is safe for swimming because never been in there. http://agusandelsur.gov.ph/index/tourism1/2011-11-17-16-33-49/where-to-go/2012-07-16-04-03-00/2012-07-16-07-22-32/2012-07-17-01-56-9/itemlist/category/30-bunawan - so lolong was being captured in bunawan, that is why search for you the links of bunawan and its tourism areas. enjoy ;)

Ahh.. The staff wouldn't need to be in the cage whenever the crocs are. Further, they wouldn't really bother you if they're full anyways.

i wish so. but since i knew about a true story of a tiger shark who killed two people and continued to pursue the third person to kill him too i dont know. sometimes i think wild animals dont attack just when they are hungry. but also because of the killing instinct they have.

yes jahn^^ i understand. but its a bit scary to know that there are really huge crocodiles found anywhere. i mean in pinas, in usa, maybe in other countries there are bigger crocodiles like that that werent found yet. as long as we keep safe thats all that matters.

hmmm... yes sweetheart is big but lolong measured at 20 feet 3 inches (6.17 m), making him one of the largest crocodiles ever measured from snout-to-tail. that is all. :)

Yes, that's what the people from that place say, bigger than Lolong. I wouldn't want to stay there either, but because that is their homes and that is where they have lived for so long, it is very hard for them to leave it. Hope they are all safe though.

wow even bigger? i would have to move out of that city^^ im afraid of pretty much all kinds of animals. so if i lived there i would probably have the bad luck of being killed by one. poor people its sad because even if they wanted to move out is needed a lot of money to find a new house. wish if there is a bigger one that it can be found.

I saw how Lolong was captive, they showed it on tv for a while.. it is not very high.. i am still not convinced.. In a show, a guy even fed Lolong and he was so scared even he is used to wild animals.

ahah you are right thats kinda scary. even more after knowing that someone killed himself by jumping to the crocodile's place in the zoo. i wouldnt do that at all. so if he got killed by it, is because the zoo couldnt protect people enough from it. so im afraid that happened if i ever visited lolong ahah but sure that depends of the country. probably in pinas they put high protections.

ahah sure i guess everyone would feel curious to see it near. but still it would be kinda scary dont you think? i would be afraid that he might attack me if it wasnt with protection. imagine you were in a forest and near a lake and suddenly a crocodile that big would come to you? i think i would die before he even touches me of heart attack

thanks for sharing this^^ its good to know that lolong being found is helping pinas economy^^ that way maybe some people can start to have a better life soon. i wish that all countries could have more or less the same richness. its so unfair that ones have a lot of money and other ones dont.

[i]Lolong is now kept in an enclosure in the Bunawan Ecopark and Wildlife Reservation Center in Barangay Consuelo located 8 km out of town. People from nearby towns are now trooping to Lolong’s eco-park after the Palawan Wildlife and Conservation Center finally gave a go signal to open it to the public on September 17. The Bunawan Municipal Council recently passed an ordinance regulating and imposing fees on gate entrance, parking and other fees at the eco-park where the celebrity giant crocodile now resides in captivity. Although the eco-park has a twenty-peso entrance fee for adults and less for the children, these proceeds will be used for Lolong’s food and the maintenance of the eco-park itself.The Bunawan Eco-Park is also incurring expenses to maintain electricity, maintenance and other incidental expenses like installation of CCTV cameras. According to Bunawan town Mayor Edwin Elorde, as of October 26, 2011, the celebrity crocodile has already earned nearly half million pesos in donations, entrance fees, and parking fees, with a daily income of about P10,000 that month.[/i] to add some information, this article was being copied in the wikipedia. hope this one can help us all to be informed about this creature lolong..

shibham i understand you like animals very much. but its scary if you are alone with a dangerous animal without him being medicated or something. if the animal is hungry he might attack you. there were a lot of attacks by trained animals to their trainees. so thats why is hard for me to trust in wild animals. i like to watch the news but see it near no. just by far^^

aw god. im just afraid for you guys. because with flood he might get out of the place he is stuck in. flood happens a lot in philipines for what i know so i just wish everyone can be safe. i guess thats why no one in manila wanted the crocodile. in case he got out.

ahah yes as long as they dont attack i guess its ok. you and other mylotters went to the zoo? thats cool. im happy that in the meeting it was fun. i didnt know you went to the zoo though. i also like to go to the zoo sometimes. but i would like to see more different animals like pumas and stuff ^^ must be really cute if you see it live instead of pictures.

Yeah same here, but i think as long as there is a proper caging to the crocodile, we wouldn't have any kind of these problems of getting eaten. sad to say that other parts of the country are being destroyed because of mining and pollution on some factory plants.

yes pinas is the word you filipinos use refering to your country^^ i have a few filipino friends online so i know a bit of your expressions^^ about the news i guess its pretty scary. i saw crocodiles before in the zoo and i didnt like to see them so near even though there were protections sure. but they werent that big as 30 feet^^

im happy that it stayed in the city it was found^^ for pinas to grow it needs a good economy in all cities and not just in the capital. that way more visitors can go to the city he was found. everyone is curious about the biggest crocodile ever found^^

thats scary i cant imagine seeing such a big crocodile near me. i would die of heart attack for sure. how could he grow so much being in captivity? the word lolong means big? what does it mean? ^^

the students used to have a field trip to the place where lolong was being kept and cared of. so i guess, the management ever tried their very best to secure lolong not harm someone.
