Kakira (Uganda): A gigantic man-eating crocodile suspected to have eaten at least six people has been caught off the shores of Lake Victoria in Uganda.
The enormous beast having length 18ft and approximate weight one tonne is supposed to have 80-years of age.
It is believed that the crocodile would have seriously injured several other fishermen also after enjoying the taste for human flesh.
The crocodile was caught by the wild life authorities on the basis of the request made by the terrified locals to hunt it down.
The colossal reptile was captured from Kakira, the Jinja District of eastern Uganda after a tedious hunt which lasted for four days.
When reports came regarding the captivity of the crocodile the residents of the locality were flown to have a look at a crocodile which had eaten six among the residents.
According to Daily Mail, it is one of the largest crocodiles that have already captured. The weight of the previously captured crocodile was 47kg less than the current record holder with length 21ft. It was a saltwater crocodile captured from the Philippines.
