Giant F***ing Crocodile Captured In Philippines
Note: Slightly larger picture HERE, short video after the jump.
Seen here looking suspiciously like the one that took Captain Hook's hand, a massive 21-foot, 2,370-pound crocodile poses with mayor Edwin Eldore (the dude in the undershirt, also: sweet LOTR name, bro) of Bunawan township, where the beast was captured alive. The plan is to make the monster the main attraction of a new animal park with the hope of boosting local tourism without the crocmonster escaping and eating everyone.
"It will be the biggest star of the park," Elorde said, adding that villagers were happy that they would be able to turn the dangerous crocodile "from a threat into an asset."
About 100 people had to pull the crocodile...from the creek to a clearing where a crane lifted it into a truck, he said.Despite the catch, villagers remain wary because several crocodiles still roam the outskirts of the farming town of about 37,000 people.
They have been told to avoid venturing into marshy areas alone at night, Elorde said.
AHAHAHHAHAHA @ "They have been told to avoid venturing into marshy areas alone at night." Yeah, I don't actually need to be told that. Get it? Nobody tells me what to do! Besides, I'm smart enough to know that if you're heading through the marsh at night to meet the voodoo lady, it's always best to bring a younger, slower sibling. It's called the buddy system folks, and it works.
Hit the jump for a short video of the crocpocalypse.

Thanks to Rick and SmellzLikeSheez, who both claim to have bigger gators in their pants. That...sounds terrifying.

One time I licked a cross-walk button and the girl next to me puked, true story. This is a video of somebody's pet clam licking salt off the table. That's not it's tongue that comes out though, that's its foot. That's why my title makes so much cents. "You mean sense." Are... / Continue →

Listen bro: I hate to be the one to tell you but you look ridiculous. This is Snappy. Snappy is an 8-foot 2-inch crocodile living at the Roaming Reptiles Animal Park in Australia. Did I mention he turned orange? Because he turned orange. Like a creamsicle, but with less cr... / Continue →

This is a series of shots from German photographer Martin Rietze of last month's eruptions of the Sakurajima Volcano in Japan. He looks like he's standing pretty close, but hopefully he was just using one of those super-zoom lenses perverts use to take shots of girls on the be... / Continue →
