The Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) has captured a one-ton giant crocodile along the shores of Lake Victoria in Kakira village after it allegedly ate a man and maiming several others. According to reports, the crocodile is believed to be approximately 80-years-old and was trapped by officials using meat on a hook. It was gathered that the huge crocodile was later transported out of the village on a truck while more than 100 village residents watched in bewilderment.

An official of the wildlife told newsmen on Thursday that: "Residents appealed to UWA to hunt the crocodile following the death of a resident from Kakira town council in Jinja district." It was informed that the wild life workerss were called in after local fishermen became too scared to approach the lake for fear of their lives.

However, the crocodile is said to have been transferred to the Murchison Falls National Park.

It is stated that the crocodile (1,000 kg) weighs just 75 kg less than Lolong, the world's largest crocodile, who died last year.
