Official World’s Largest Croc in the Philippines

The Guinness Book of World Records has declared a saltwater crocodile the largest such reptile in captivity in the Philippines. The huge beast weighs more than a tonne, measures 6.17-metre (20.24-foot) and it is suspected of killing two people.

The male crocodile, nicknamed “Lolong”, had been sought for the last two years after a killing of a girl and the disappearance of a fisherman. He was captured in the Agusan marsh on the southern island of Mindanao last September.

Guinness stated on its website: “The largest crocodile in captivity is Lolong, a saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), who measured 6.17 m. Lolong’s weight was also measured at a nearby truck weigh-bridge and verified as approximately 1,075 kg (2,370 lbs).”

The local Government have received a certificate from Guinness; the croc is currently in the custody of the town of Bunawan. The media affairs co-ordinator, Welinda Asis Elorde, said: “He’s doing well. I think he has already adapted to his new environment.”

Lolong has been put on a diet, he was being fed the equivalent of 10 per cent of his body weight in high protein meats such as beef, pork and poultry every month, but that has now been reduced to eight to 10 kilograms a week so he can become more active.

The previous record holder was a 5.48-metre Australian saltwater crocodile called Cassius who weighs nearly a tonne; he is kept at a crocodile park at an island off Queensland and has been there since he was captured in 1984.

According to media affairs co-ordinator, Welinda Asis Elorde Lolong is still a ‘big tourist attraction’ with hundreds of people visiting daily.

Unusual Mummified Animals (5 pics)

The ancient Egyptians mummified animals as well as humans.
Animals of all kinds were important to the Ancient Egyptians, and
featured in the daily secular and religious lives of farmers, craftsmen,
priests and rulers. Animals were reared mainly for food, whilst others
were kept as pets. The bodies of sacred animals and some pets were
often mummified and given elaborate burials.
A queen’s pet gazelle was readied for eternity with the same lavish care
as a member of the royal family. In fine, blue-trimmed bandages and a
custom-made wooden coffin, it accompanied its owner to the grave in
about 945 B.C. Egyptian Museum, Cairo

Lovingly preserved, a hunting dog whose bandages fell off long ago
likely belonged to a pharaoh. As a royal pet, it “would have been fed
nibbly bits and spoiled rotten,” says Salima Ikram. When it died, it was
interred in a specially prepared tomb in the Valley of the Kings.

Votive mummies, each buried with a prayer, are infinitely varied but
not always what they seem. A cunning crocodile is a fake—it has
nothing inside.


Baboon harbors a secret that helps identify it as a pet: An x-ray
revealed missing canine teeth, probably removed to keep the creature
from nipping royal fingers.

The Weird Sport of Goose Pulling

Goose pulling is an old sport originally played in parts of the Netherlands, Belgium, England and North America from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The sport involves a goose that is hung by its legs from a pole or rope that is stretched across a road. A man riding on horseback at a full gallop would attempt to grab the bird by the neck in order to pull the head off. Whoever makes off with the head is declared winner and becomes the noble hero of the day. Goose pulling is still practiced today, in parts of Belgium and in Grevenbicht in the Netherlands as part of Shrove Tuesday and in some towns in Germany as part of the Shrove Monday celebrations.

During the old days a live goose was used. To make the sport challenging, the goose's neck was generously oiled to make it difficult to retain a grip on it, and the bird's constant fluttering and flailing made it difficult to target it in the first place. Sometimes "a nigger” with a long whip in hand was stationed near the target who would harass the horse as he passed by.

The prizes of a goose-pulling contest were trivial – often the dead bird itself, other times contributions from the audience or rounds of drinks. The main draw of such contests for the spectators was the betting on the competitors, sometimes for money or more often for alcoholic drinks.

Today, instead of live geese, dead ones are used, but that doesn’t make the sport any less brutal. Even during the old days when animal brutality were common, goose pulling was often frowned upon and sometimes compared to the barbarous practice of bull-fighting.

Goose pulling largely died out in the United States after the Civil War, though it was still occasionally practiced in parts of the South as late as the 1870s. However, in Grevenbicht in the Netherlands and in parts of Belgium and Germany, goose pulling – using a dead goose that has been humanely killed by a veterinarian – continues to this day as part of traditional Shrove Tuesday celebrations. It is referred to as Ganstrekken in the Netherlands, Gansrijden in Belgium and Gänsereiten in Germany. Although the use of live geese was banned in the 1920s, the practice still arouses some controversy. In 2008 the Dutch Party for Animals (PvdD) proposed that it should be banned. The organizers rejected the proposal, pointing out that there was no question of cruelty to animals because the geese were already dead.

Belgian goose pulling is accompanied by an elaborate set of customs. The rider who succeeds in pulling off the goose's head is "crowned" as the "king" for one year and given a crown and mantle. At the end of his "king year" the ruling king has to treat his "subjects" to a feast of beer, drinks, cigars and bread pudding or sausages held either at his home or at a local pub. The kings compete with each other to become the "emperor".

Bird Nest Hanging on a Telephone Pole

Looking more like something out of The Lorax than what you would find in Africa's Kalahari Desert, these fantastically decorated telephone poles are actually home to the aptly named Sociable Weaver bird.

The communist little soarers don't just build massive homes for their own kind—they even allow other species of birds to settle down in the nests, which could very well hold up to 100 birds at a time. According to the San Diego Zoo, the South African pygmy falcon Polihierax semitorquatus (otherwise known in layman's terms as good-for-nothing squatters) "relies completely on the sociable weavers' nest for its own home, often nesting side by side with the sociable weavers."

Photographer Dillon Marsh has an entire series on these whimsical bird colonies called Assimilation. A few of the nests even look big enough for a human to crawl into, although its hard to imagine we'd be greeted with quite the same open wings as their feathered brethren.
