salute from philippines, good thing you released it. in the philippines a croc named lolong 21ft died from a very unstable cage. food, space, using him as a tourist attraction. why yes, the person who's guarding that place going to empty the water just people can see him. thats how stupid it is. corrupt gob. plain stupid. *salute from sri lanka

[@kylatiamsu3771]

Yeah true .. I dont know if whats its age but for its size lolong should be a century old crocs to treat like that in a not qualified environement.. .. I hope if they capture anonther one if they out it on enclosure should be on proper .. Or release it on other wild habitat

[@testosteronevsthewoke7124]

I'm just thankful they didn't kill the croc despite how stressful the move they excicuted was on him was. If he's a man eater stay out of his territory. End of story.

I kept fearing that backhoe operator would accidentally impale that croc. I don't get why they just couldn't let it crawl into the water on it's own when it was ready. It was probably just tired and stressed.

As per what people in the video are saying, the crock was actually found close by to the place it was finally released. It was stuck in a narrow channel(this i got to know later from local news) so had to be rescued and put back to a broader area of the river.

[@colinmiles9390]

Talk about being cruel with the tractor, let him go into the water in his own time

[@M21L35]

They never should've used the bucket of that end-loader in the manner which they did. 1) They should've left the croc enter the water under its own power...which it would've. It was no doubt in shock, & leaving it alone would've been the wisest choice! 2) Instead of utilizing the loader bucket w/the "teeth" extended, they should've used the side of the bucket to nudge the croc toward the water. Wouldn't surprise me if the croc died shortly thereafter because it had been so traumatized!

[@cryptoandy4105]

Lol what an idiotic assumption aged crocs are way bigger than younger ones and in croc terms the bigger always rules the water,that croc was driven by the flood waters as mentioned in the article so thats practically not its home.

@VLAD DIGBY, There is another Saltwater Crocodile in the same river named "Tyzon" that is about 16.5 feet long (one foot shorter than this croc) but Tyzon is more dominant and bullies this croc around. Tyzon is enormous as well, over one ton in weight.

You obviously don't know shit about crocs. They get massive lactic acid build up when they are stressed and it can kill them. This animal would never have been bound and moved around before and pushed around with loud, heavy machinery so of course it would be stressed, dummy.

JOSHUA DELA CRUZ I heard of a bigger crocodile in the Philippines that's almost 30ft that was responsible for the killings of a local fisherman & a little girl. I also heard that Lolong wasn't responsible for those killings & all that was found in his stomach was chickens & no human body parts.

[@datgreedymouse6860]

DisneyNate YCJRS yep i have a friend living in there he said the there's still 3 more big crocs a less smaller or bigger than lolong. Researches are using drones to scout on basking crocs in thhe morning i wonder why they still not uploading the pictures

[@shinobi_spyronycjrs]

Kriss Kross Crocodiles can be hard to find in remote areas such as where Lolong was caught due to how much cover & how far away those crocodiles are from any big city inhabited by a large human populations. Also the crocodiles in those areas that the 30ft long crocodile was said to be lurking had dense vegetation to use as cover along with how long those crocodiles can stay underwater with how remote those areas are in the Philippines.
