Gargantuan 17-Foot-Long Crocodile Found on Tea Estate in Sri Lanka

Description

A massive crocodile measuring over 17 feet long was discovered on a tea estate near the Sri Lankan town of Akuressa on Tuesday by a worker. The tea worker called in wildlife experts from a nearby branch of the conservation department and, with the help of about 30 villagers, they managed to bind the giant reptile with rope. The villagers then placed the enormous croc on a wooden platform and paraded the beast around the village.
