They claim there is an even bigger one in the same area! I heard that on NPR today.

Why did they capture it? Do they really expect reptiles to follow the same laws and regulations that humans do?

****, people are stupid.

the article said that the croc was a suspect in a missing person case. IMO, moving it into a safe, protected habitat (which I am assuming is an accurate description of the eco-park that they're sending it to) is the best solution for all parties involved.

I remember a couple of years ago some kind of rare fish or marine mammal was caught somewhere in the Philippines and the locals did infact eat it. Cooler heads prevailed this time.

I'm glad they put it in a park and didn't destroy it. The fisherman who was allegedly attacked was in the croc's element, the croc was just doing what crocs do.

I believe that fish was a coelacanth. It was thought to be extinct for millions of years until someone caught one decades ago. They've actually found a school of them since then.

Too bad the Croc Hunter is dead. He could catch the other big one.
