MANILA (AFP) - A small Philippine town on Wednesday laid claim to having the world's largest captive crocodile after an Australian expert measured the saltwater beast at more than six metres.
The male reptile was captured in Bunawan in the Agusan marsh on the southern island of Mindanao in September and measured at 6.2 metres (20 feet and four inches) by Australian zoologist Adam Britton, Bunawan town council member Apollo Canoy said.
"We are happy to announce that we have the biggest crocodile in the whole world," Canoy told AFP in a telephone interview.
He said Britton, who could not be reached for comment, was the same  expert who in 2008 measured 5.48-metre Cassius, an Australian saltwater  crocodile that is listed by Guinness World Records as the largest in captivity. "So far we have not had any contacts with Guinness, and we do  not know whether they plan to visit us soon," Canoy said, adding that Britton measured the Bunawan  crocodile at its pen for a foreign television station.
Its weight and the size of its girth were not taken, Canoy added.
The Guinness website said it had taken note of the Bunawan capture.
"Guinness World Records officials are currently awaiting further evidence in order to verify if a record has been broken," it added. The Philippine crocodile was captured by professional hunters after a three-week hunt following a spate of attacks that killed two marshland residents and several farm animals.

Want to Loss Weight?
The first piece of advice deals with  exercising. Always exercise on an empty stomach first thing in the  morning. Talk a walk on a treadmill or around the block a few times. Ten  minutes will make a difference by burning stored energy namely fat.   
The second useful tip is not  eating late night snacks. If you avoid snacking three hours before  bedtime, you wont be storing fat, and you will be amazed at the results.
Tip number three suggests that  if you are going to drink coffee, make it black.  Fancy coffee flavored  drinks with cream and sugar are loaded with calories, as opposed to zero  in a good old cup of black coffee.  
Tip four recommends that you eat  four or five small meals a day rather than the traditional three. Your  metabolism needs constant fuel to burn fat. If you feed it in small  amounts several times, your metabolism stays high and burns more  calories.
Finally, cut down on your  carbohydrate intake. This will make a huge difference in how much and  how quickly you will lose weight. Eliminate as much bread and other  starches as you can from your diet, and you’ll see why it works when you  step on the scale. Take this advice, and you’ll see what easy weight  loss dieting is all about.

World population?? 7 Billions!!
It has been confirmed that the world's population hits the lucky number seven on 31st October 2011 although the exact moment or place where the seven billionth baby was born could not be pinpointed. Famous prediction and believe is that child is born in India. As stated, it is very virtually impossible to count the number of population around the world as there are averaging 340 births per minute and 107 deaths per minute anywhere in the world. Who cares anyway? The world is getting crowded by the second!!
so..... should we celebrate the birth of seven billionth baby? NOT! :p
