AI Thread Summary
A large saltwater crocodile, measuring 6.4 meters and weighing 1,075 kilograms, has been terrorizing a fishing district in the Philippines, attacking people and suspected of eating at least one fisherman. After weeks of fear, the crocodile was finally captured and will be transferred to a zoo, where it is expected to become a major attraction. The incident has raised concerns about the impact on the family of the missing fisherman and the presence of other large crocodiles still in the area. While the crocodile's involvement in the fisherman's disappearance is suspected, it remains unconfirmed. The situation highlights ongoing human-wildlife conflict in the region.

For weeks, a huge salt water crocodile has terrorized a fishing district in the Philippines, attacking several people and suspected of having eaten at least one fisherman.
At last, it was caught in a trap, and will now be transferred to a zoo where it is expected to be the big star.
It IS rather big, measuring 6.4 metres (previous record was 5.74), weighing 1075 kilograms..

well that's a shame
 
i can't help but think about how the eaten fisherman's family feel about this...
 
From the title of this thread, I first thought you were talking about shoes. I think the zoo should at least give that family free access.

There are several other large crocs still at large in the vicinity, anyone of which could eat a person. Regardless, it is only suspected that a croc killed and ate the guy. All they actually know is that he disappeared when he went out fishing.
