lolong is dead

thats what happens when you put a great animal to the wrong hands. they wanted money yet they dont give him a suitable home. lolong may you rest in pieces.

It is sad indeed that we lost the title of having the largest croc alive in captivity. Now, Australia once again is the record holder in this category. I am also saddened that those that were benefiting from it suddenly lost their earnings. The blooming tourism could have boosted their livelihood are all gone now.

My condolences to my fellow Filipino whom we lost a great treasure. For now, we still can not do much about our politicians. Maybe for a start, we vote wisely on the upcoming election.

I also saw that news and its really sad. I think they will preserve the skin and the bones will be displayed.

Honestly, I never heard lolong before that's why I never had the chance to meet lolong.

It is a great lost for our tourism.. lolong the largest crocodile in captivity really attracts a lot of people to see him and now that he's gone the tourist is also gone., but I heard there will be a museum to be build for lolong.. anyways crocodiles is associated with politicians who is corrupt.. crocodiles represents them., and I hope all those corrupt politician will go together with lolong.. may they rest in peace..

I heard about this in the news last night and I felt sad. It's not every time that we encounter such animal like lolong let alone being the biggest croc. in the world and him being in the Philippines is a huge lost for us Filipinos. But maybe the reason why he didn't live that long is because of the lack of suitable facilities of the ones who are keeping him. They should not have taken him out of his natural habitat and instead they should have just monitored him while being in the wild. I'm sure there's a device out there that is capable in doing so. Just like the ones they put on sharks and whales to monitor their whereabouts. I watched animal planet and national geographic channel. Or maybe they didn't do it on purpose because they didn't want lolong to wander off of the Philippines and into another country and the other country take the credit for him.

He was really indeed a very big crocodile. I have seen one big crocodile in Palawan in crocodile farm. It's not as big as long but it was so big that it was so scary to look at and it's not yet as big as him. So i would imagine how big it was if I saw him myself when he was still alive for tourist to see.

Oh, really? How sad that story is. We lost one of our most precious assets. But anyway, that animal has left a legacy for all of us to remember. Or, maybe, it is now on some of our history books, right?

All you've said may be true. But also, maybe it was really his time to die coz of age. Isn't it that crocodiles continue to grow as long as they live? And for Lolong to be able to grow that big means that he is really old. My youngest son was sad when he knew about it. He said that, he should have lived longer so that a lot of people would have seen him.

I'm sorry to hear that. Crocodiles and alligators can live for 50 years. Probably, he was 50 years old already. Everyone has life span.
