Crocodile Captured on Albrook
It took officials from the National Environmental Authority (ANAM) and the Red Cross more than three hours to capture an enormous crocodile what as spotted in a water drainage ditch located in front of the passenger terminal of the Marcos A. Gelabert International Airport at Albrook. Spectators were left with their mouths hanging open when they saw the size of the animal. They first tried to capture it using a small nylon rope, but that proved to be insufficient for the task, and it broke under the weight of the animal. Eventually they were able to haul the crocodile onto dry land and load it into the back of a pickup truck. Officials said another crocodile was captured in the same area about three years ago.
