A man-eating giant crocodile haunts the Philippines' Agusan Marsh
In short: Deep within a 50,000-hectare wetland paradise, a massive predator poses a lethal threat to local communities. This documentary explores the high-stakes effort to track, capture, and protect one of the world's largest crocodiles.
The Agusan Marsh serves as a home for the Manobos people, a fishing tribal community living in floating houses. However, these waters are inhabited by a giant crocodile estimated to be over 20 feet long and weighing approximately 1.15 tons.
To ensure local safety, authorities aim to capture the predator to anchor a new ecotourism park. Expert Marc Gansuana evaluates the ethics of keeping such a massive animal in captivity while balancing conservation goals with public safety.
