Very nice contribution to the thread, Mr. Eskeryon.

Kudos!

This is a part of Agusan Marsh.

At most time of the year the place is surrounded with murky water. Pirmi lubog ang tubig diri.

But at most during summer nga hinay ra ang rainfall maka encounter mi ug clear water

Naka notice ko nga gamay ra ang pics nga napost about the hyped crocodile so first let me post the giant crocodile nga dia diri sa Crocolandia

Gikuha ang pansin sa crocodile with the food

Then hinayhinay nigawas

Ang didto sa Consuelo, Bunawan, Agusan del Sur. Naka abot nako ining lugara. My sister is teaching in the interior of Bunawan. Usa ra ang classroom. Siya ang ga handle sa klase from Gr. 1 up to Gr. 6. Very remote ang place. Moagi ta ug daghan nga sapa ug at most magsakay ug baroto. Baroto - bangka ni nga walay katig. Preferable man gud ni didto kay para makalusot-lusot from the floating debris or objects sama sa troso, kawayan ug sa buaya pud.
Sorry, karon lang ko kabantay ini nga thread. Medyo late na. Actually my sister called me up on the day nga nakuha ang buaya and it was featured right away sa ABS-CBN Cagayan then sa national news dayon

Ang tango sa buaya

Ang pagbira sa buaya gikan sa sapa

Pagkahuman ug bunlot gikan sa sapa

NatGeo team confirms Lolong the croc is world's biggest

National Geographic Channel representatives on Wednesday confirmed that giant crocodile Lolong in Bunawan, Agusan del Sur is the world’s biggest saltwater crocodile in captivity, GMA News reported Wednesday.

Remarking that measuring Lolong was like measuring a dinosaur, Australian crocodile expert Dr. Adam Britton led the team that measured the giant crocodile at 21 feet and 1 inch, according to the “Balita Pilipinas" newscast.

Britton will recommend to Guinness World Records the recognition of Lolong as the world’s biggest saltwater crocodile, “Balita Pilipinas" added. The newscast said Guinness representatives will no longer fly to the Philippines to measure Lolong and will depend instead on the results of Britton’s measurement.

The current holder of the-biggest-saltwater-crocodile title measures 18 feet and is in Australia, “Balita Pilipinas" said.

If Lolong makes it to Guinness World Records, the crocodile could drive tourism to Agusan Marsh where it was captured. Experts say the area’s tourism potential needs intensive study to avoid fatal human-crocodile encounters.

The celebrity crocodile earned nearly half-a-million pesos from donations, entrance, and parking fees at the Bunawan Eco-Park and Research Center in Barangay Consuelo as of Oct. 26, said Bunawan town mayor Edwin Elorde.

The daily average income from entrance, parking fees, and donations rose to around P8,000 in October alone, Elorde added.

Making world news

Lolong, touted as the biggest on record two months ago, made world news after its capture on Sept. 3.

People in the Agusan Marsh suspected Lolong was the croc that ate a missing fisherman and several carabaos. After its capture, the reptile rose to become the top story on Google News as well as other international media outlets.

The media followed closely the giant crocodile’s diet as Lolong refused to eat for weeks after it was caught. It finally regained its appetite in early October.

Still, a number of advocates are pressing for Lolong's release back into the wild. Elorde labeled such calls “irresponsible".

pwede man i-release si Lolong so long as sa walay tao ang lugar ilang buhian. or else Lolong will end up dead anyway, manimalos man gyud ning tao.
