Villagers hunt for huge 'man-eating' crocodile claimed to be a terrifying 29ft long
The massive reptile would be the largest predator ever recorded on land if the accounts of the animal are true
Villagers are hunting a huge 'man-eating' crocodile which could measure as long as 29ft and that has been attacking fishermen, farmers and local livestock.
The massive reptile would be the largest predator ever recorded on land if the locals account of the animal are true.
Now residents in the Agusan del Sur region of the Phillipines have organised a hunt for the animal.
It comes after a woman was reportedly attacked by the beast - it isn't known if she survived.
The hunt was organised to try and catch the creature, which would have the strength to crush a truck with its jaws.
One man who claims to have seen the killer croc up close claimed it was an astonishing 29ft long.
According to the video published by Discovery , if the man's claim was true it would make the reptile the biggest predator on land in the world.
It would also make the animal a third larger than the largest crocodile ever recorded which was 20.3ft long.
The fear is that a crocodile of this size would be a serious threat to the villagers who live and work on the banks of its home.
The previous record for largest crocodile also came from the Philipines.
In 2011 villagers and veteran hunters caught a 20.3ft saltwater crocodile after a three-week hunt in Bunawan township.
Locals said that the record breaking croc was responsible for at least one death.
The crocodile – weighed 1,075 kg and was estimated to be at least 50-years-old.
