An estimated 50 years old, giant Crocodylus porosus is a saltwater


crocodile. It was the largest crocodile caught alive in Buhawan of Agusan

animals.
The biggest crocodile was given the name of “Lolong” after the name of Ernesto “Lolong” Goloran,
who is one of the veteran hunters from the Palawan Crocodile and Wildlife Reservation Center, who led the
hunt.
Dr. Adam Britton, an Australian zoologist and crocodile expert, measured Lolong at 6.17 m (20 ft. 3

According to the experts of the National Geographic Channel, Lolong breaks the record of the
previous record-holder with a measurement of 5.48 m (18 FT 0 in).
