1,300 pound crocodile captured in Australia

A massive saltwater crocodile weighing in at about 1,300 pounds  has been captured in Australia. 

The reptile was captured on Monday after rangers had set a trap on a private property near Katherine, a town in Northern Territory, Australia.

The crocodile was estimated to be about 60 years old, measuring more than 15 feet long and weighing more than 1,300 pound. 

The crocodile, a male, was “removed” to “help prevent human interaction in the more populated areas,” 

The reptile has since been taken to live on a crocodile farm.
