Crocodile Decapitates Girl

(Bunawan, Philippines) Recent flooding has led to crocodiles being more aggressive.

A 10-YEAR-old girl has been decapitated by a crocodile in the Philippines. The girl was killed after the crocodile knocked over her canoe in a lake.

She and a friend had been on their way to school on Agusan del Sur province's Mihaba Lake when the seven-metre crocodile bumped the boat, causing it to capsize, police officer Melchor Danuco said today.

The girls were the only occupants of the canoe. Rescuers found the girl's headless body floating on the lake yesterday, Associated Press has reported.

The classmate was rescued by a man escorting the pair in another boat, said Roel Hipulan, head of the private group that runs the school in remote Bunawan.

"It's a monster crocodile,'' Mr Hipulan said.

By my calculation, seven meters equals 23 feet. That is a monster croc!

Meanwhile, sailors were able to capture a picture of a different crocodile eating a shark in a single gulp.


The above crocodile is reportedly only 15-feet long.
