00:00 The giant crocodile captured by the villagers of the Agusan swamp is struggling with fear.

00:06 The ropes are barely enough to contain it.

00:10 They now have to transport this dangerous creature in force 10 km away,

00:22 in a tourist park designed for this purpose.

00:35 Finally, after 24 hours of a fight of titans, it's victory.

00:40 The villagers' rejoicing lasts all night.

00:44 The next morning, the giant crocodile of the Agusan swamp becomes the star of a local zoo.

00:55 It must have been installed in a pool designed for children.

00:59 To be so big, it's necessarily a male.

01:03 It weighs more than 1040 kg.

01:07 Female sea crocodiles rarely exceed 160 kg and reach a maximum of 4.5 meters long.

01:15 This specimen is 6.18 meters long.

01:19 It was named "Lolong".

01:27 How did Lolong manage to reach this size?

01:30 As for us, the acquisition is as important as the birth.

01:38 The growth of crocodiles is mainly played in their early years,

01:46 and any stress can inhibit this growth.

01:50 Out of a 50-year-old cub, only one or two usually reach full maturity.

01:55 During these years of training, Lolong had to benefit from an abundance of food

02:00 and a certain lack of competition.

02:03 Lolong finally died in 2013, at the age of 60.

02:09 Not without having made its entrance in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest crocodile in the world.
