Crocodylus porosus
Lolong, a captive Indo-Pacific or Saltwater Crocodile. He was the largest crocodile in captivity measuring over 6 meters (20 ft), making him one of the largest crocodiles ever measured from snout-to-tail. Got a picture of him less than a year ago during a trip to Agusan del Sur.
Lolong was caught in a Bunawan creek in the province of Agusan del Sur in the Philippines on September 3, 2011. During his captivity, he was kept in an enclosure in the Bunawan Ecopark and Wildlife Reservation Center in Barangay Consuelo.
Lolong died on February 10, 2013
