World's largest crocodile (in captivity) is dead (not shot by LAPD)
TAGUM CITY, Philippines - Lolong, the world's biggest reptile in captivity, is dead.
The 20.4-foot (6.12-meter) saltwater crocodile died at its pen in Consuelo village, Bunawan town, Agusan del Sur province, around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, according to Mayor Edwin Elorde.
"He refused to eat since last month and we noticed a change in the colour of his faeces," Elorde told the Inquirer by mobile phone. "Our personnel also noticed an unusual ballooning of the reptile's belly."
Rowena Bunawan, media coordinator of Bunawan, told the Philippine Daily Inquirer by phone that Lolong was declared dead Dr. Alexander Collantes, animal doctor at the Davao Crocodile Park.

Captured in the Agusan Marsh on Sept. 3, 2011, Lolong is believed to have eaten a man who went missing in July and bitten off the head of a 12-year-old girl in 2009.
