Largest crocodile caught
 
A 21 (yes 21)ft saltwater crocodile has been caught in the Philippines after several fatal attacks.

Quote:

The 1,075-kilogramme (2,370-pound) male is suspected of eating a farmer who went missing in July in the town of Bunawan, and of killing a 12-year-old girl whose head was bitten off two years ago, crocodile hunter Rollie Sumiller said. The hunter examined the crocodile's stomach contents by forcing it to vomit after it was captured Saturday, but there was no trace of human remains or of several water buffaloes also reported missing by locals.

Just how long exactly does a crocodile digest its lunches? Or is the article unintenionally just making the hunter look dumb by omitting to say that there might be other suspected victims?
