MANILA, Philippines — A 20-foot saltwater crocodile that might be the world’s largest in captivity has not eaten for six days since its capture in a southern Philippine creek drew worldwide attention.
Wildlife official Ronnie Sumiller, who led the hunt for the croc nicknamed “Lolong,” said Friday the reptile is being closely observed for signs of stress. But he said it’s normal for crocodiles to be stressed after being trapped and handled.
Even in the wild, they don’t normally eat daily, and a crocodile as huge as Lolong can go without food for up to six months, Sumiller said.
