Australia monster croc caught after eight-year hunt

An elusive monster saltwater crocodile weighing 600 kilograms (1,328 pounds) has finally been caught after an eight-year hunt in Australia, officials said on Tuesday. "We've called it a lot of things over the years because it's been so hard to catch," senior wildlife officer John Burke told broadcaster ABC. The animal was taken to a crocodile farm to keep it separate from the local human population, said Northern Territory wildlife operations chief Tracey Duldig.
