An elusive monster saltwater crocodile weighing 1,328 pounds (over 94 stone) has finally been caught after an eight-year hunt in Australia, officials said on Tuesday.
The 15-foot beast was found in a trap downstream from the northern outback town of Katherine after first being spotted in 2010.
Authorities had tried in vain for years to bag the croc, which is estimated to be 60 years old.

Screw them for taking that forced perspective nonsense.
That boat is 20+ feet behind the croc.

Katherine Australia Times where they captured this lizard
It would take only two to three days for the saltie to swim or walk up the river to town, home to about 11,000 people, ranger Burke said.
Local fishermen were also getting worried for their safety.
“Trapping crocs and removing them at Taylors Park assists at reducing the number of crocs that may swim upstream,” ranger Burke said.
“By putting a dent in the population, we are safeguarding the Katherine town.
“It is about reducing the total number overall and the chance of human interaction,” he said.
