A 21 Ft Long Crocodile Caught in the Philippines, the World’s Largest Verified Crocodile Ever



Agusan Del Norte, Philippines. Just recently, the largest crocodile ever in the world was caught in a village in the province of Agusan Del Norte in Mindanao, Southern Philippines. This gigantic creature caught the attention of the village people when it attacked a young carabao or water buffalo. This crocodilian was identified to be a Saltwater Crocodile and according to authority its verified measurement is 21 ft or 6.4 meters in length. Previously, the longest crocodile ever measured snout-to-tail and verified was the skin of a dead crocodile, which was 6.1 meters (20 ft) long. All other claims were unverified.
