A giant, one-tonne crocodile has been caught by Ugandan villagers, after allegedly eating a man and maiming several others in a village.
The reptile was captured by the Uganda Wildlife Authority after a four-day hunt along the shores of Lake Victoria, in Kakira village.
The crocodile, believed to be approximately 80-years-old, was trapped by officials using meat on a hook and transported out of the village on a truck while more than 100 residents watching.
"Residents appealed to UWA to hunt the crocodile following the death of a resident from Kakira town council in Jinja district," a UWA official told The New Vision Ugandan daily.
The reptile's presence proved problematic for local fisherman, who became too scared to approach the lake until it was caught.
