MANILA (PHILIPPINES): A remote southern Philippine town has gone into mourning over the death of the world's largest saltwater crocodile in captivity, even though it was blamed for the deaths of several villagers.

[size=5][url="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Guinness-World-Records"]Guinness World Records[/url][color=#3F3F3F][font=georgia] had proclaimed it the largest saltwater crocodile in captivity last year, measuring the giant at 6.17 meters (20 feet 3 inches). The reptile took the top spot from an Australian crocodile that measured more than 5 meters (17 feet) and weighed nearly a ton.[/font][/color][/size]

[size=5][color=#3F3F3F][font=georgia]Estimated at more than 50 years old, the crocodile was named after a government environmental officer who died from a heart attack after traveling to Bunawan in Agusan del Sur province to help capture the beast.[/font][/color][/size]
