THE second biggest crocodile ever caught in Australia has been hauled in by the Northern Territoryâ€s own Outback wrangler Matt Wright.
</div>
 
The giant beast measured 5.58m and weighed in at a massive 890kg, making it bigger than the Territoryâ€s own superstar croc, Brutus, which is estimated to be around 5.5 meters.
 
While reports are yet to be verified, it is anticipated to be the second largest crocodile ever captured in Australia, <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.ntnews.com.au/news/northern-territory/outback-wrangler-matt-wright-catches-second-biggest-croc-ever-recorded-in-australia/news-story/6d123d57028dc0fefe54abefa98fdd5c'>the NT News reported.</a>
 
The croc is thought to have been captured towards the end of 2015 but Wright only made the details and images public yesterday.
 
According to the Guinness World Records, Cassius, a male saltwater crocodile caught in the Finniss River in the NT, is recognised as the worldâ€s largest crocodile in captivity at 5.48m in length, and weighing in at 968kg.
 
He remains on show at Green Island in Queensland.
 
Adelaide River giant Dominator â€” and Brutusâ€ neighbour â€” has never been officially measured, but it is estimated that he is 6.1 metres in length and weighs over a ton.
 
The NTâ€s much-loved Sweetheart, whose body is on permanent display at the Museum and Art Gallery in Darwin, was 5.1m long and weighed 780kg when he was caught in 1979.
 
Sweetheart was renowned for a series of attacks on outboard motors, dinghies, and fishing boat in NT waters between 1974 and 1979 when he was wrangled.
 
The biggest crocodile ever caught in the world was said to be a 7.01m giant male saltwater crocodile weighing 2000kg named Kalia, from India.
 
Lolong, who died in 2013, was a saltwater crocodile that measured 6.17m and weighed 1075kg, making him one of the largest crocodiles ever measured from snout-to-tail.
 
In November 2011, Territorian crocodile expert Dr. Adam Britton of National Geographic sedated and measured Lolong in his enclosure in the Philippines and confirmed him as the worldâ€s largest crocodile ever caught and placed in captivity
 
Matt Wright is a well-known Territory chopper pilot, animal expert and star of the hit National Geographic series Outback Wrangler.

I just realised that if little Shazannah is drinking the milk there's no way Coles will take it back now she's opened up the bottle. I hope her mum figured it out before she wasted a couple of smokes on a trip back there.

Yeah dogs ROCK!!!

NTA

Labradors are fucking cool. Laziest, fattest fucking slob of a dog, but will love you like no other. We always had them even with the farm dogs, so my Mum felt like she had a dog of her own. 
 
Working in geriatric care, they often had the leftovers from the seeing eye dog programs (i.e. the flunks) in the place as Pets As Therapy animals.

Hooroo

We have Golden Retreivers which aren't far removed from Labradors.
 
Most amazing animals. Impossible to discipline as they are just too cute.
 
 
Lexi (the youngest at a year) is pulling all my Chillis off my plants around the farm and just leaving them beside the plant. Very frustrating!!!

so she's like Bart Simpson in the episode when Lisa proves that a hamster is smarter....

NTA

No. It's just that Hooroo is a big softie

Three men stuck in a lift after curry feast

It's the stuff of nightmares - three men getting stuck in a lift immediately after a curry feast.
But it was the dire reality for an Australian, Englishman and Taiwanese man who battled uncontrollable flatulence, 38 degree heat and 99 per cent humidity during the longest half hour of their lives.
The three colleagues had just finished delicious curries at an Indian restaurant in Marrara in Darwin's north when they tried to take the lift to travel just one floor up to their hotel room.
'The lift surged and went up and down, up and down again. The emergency lights went on and we realised we were in for the long haul,' said Ben Rose - the Australian of the trio.
<div> </div>
Almost immediately, Cega Wang realised he needed the bathroom urgently and warned his friends 'he might need to have a wee in the corner,' according to Mr Rose.
Not long after, the Englishman, Scotty Lintern 'apologised in advance', warning his friends his stomach was starting to rumble after his fatal meal choice - the spicy laksa.
A wave of eyewatering flatulence quickly followed to torture his trapped friends.
'We were struggling to breathe after Scotty's little effort, there was a smell in that lift that I thought would outlast religion,' said Mr Rose.
'Cega was deep breathing through a tiny crack in the elevator with tears in his eyes. He hasn't spoken to us since,' he joked.
'It's been a long recovery after that day, but we're getting there.'
There was no air conditioning in their metal prison and the men were soon left struggling against the humidity and the after effects of their curries.
'Hell would have been a few degrees cooler. It was more painful than I imagine childbirth would be, we were at our wit's end,' said Mr Rose.
'It was hot as sin, we were all sweating profusely and sitting on the floor in little pools of our own sweat,' said Mr Lintern.
The trio took out their phones to record the experience, with video showing the broken, sweaty men explaining how 'dire' it felt.
'Ben and I saw the funny side of things the whole way through but Cega looked a bit stressed,' said Mr Lintern.
'We've bonded over the experience but I think Cega might have filed for divorce.'
The men were resourceful enough to call the pub next door for emergency beers.
Despite an earnest effort from all involved to pull the beverages into the lift, the beers sadly couldn't be shuttled through to the men in need.
'It was only half an hour but it felt like a week long ordeal,' said Mr Rose.
'We went straight out from the lift to the pub and cracked a few beers. Cega ran straight to the bathroom though and stood in the shower for half an hour,' said Mr Rose.
Despite their traumatic experience, Mr Lintern - who has earned himself the nickname 'the farting Englishman' - still has found memories of the restaurant.
'It was a delicious meal, really tasty. We haven't been back to the restaurant, that's probably a good idea.'
