The province of Palawan, Philippines is gripped with shock when one of its boys was swallowed by a giant crocodile of an unknown size. One crocodile, 14-foot long, was captured but the opened belly contained no remnants of the eaten Filipino kid. The Philippine News Agency reported:
A seven year-old boy was swallowed by a crocodile while swimming with a teen-aged brother at the waters in Palawan province on Wednesday, a top official of the PNP in the region reported Thursday.
Chief Superintendent Luisito Palmera, MIMAROPA (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan), identified the victim as Mostaqem Ibrahim of Sitio Sumorom, Ransang village in Rizal town.
Citing initial information, Palmera said Ibrahim was swimming with his 12-year-old brother Jadnor when they were attacked by a crocodile at around 1 p.m.
"Said incident was witnessed by his brother Jadnor who immediately shouted for help. His father immediately responded together with their neighbors," said Palmera.
An hour after the incident, Palmera said residents caught a crocodile - measuring at least 14 feet and 9 inches long and two feet in width. He said the residents cut the crocodile's stomach but did not found the victim's body.
