A male Crocodile weighing over 150 kilogram in estimation has been killed by a Wine Tapper at Ezu Ntii River in Umuoba Village in old Akabor Quarter in Mbauwku Awka South Council Area of Anambra on Thursday December 17,2020. 

According to the Wine Tapper, Mr. Obiora Eze, who is also a native of the said Village, his local trap caught the Croc in the head region around 12.30am in the night probably when Croc came out to feed and which he found out when he came for routine checks after his Nocturnal version of wine tapping, noticed something big struggling to escape and he responded by striking the animals with his spear at the head region and later found out it was a huge Fresh water Crocodile. 

Our correspondent Udoka Nwokoye reports that when measurements of the croc were taking to acertain the Animal data, it reveals that the Sea reptile was a Male Croc because it has masculine features, and it is Eight feet, three inches in length and 2 feet in breadth. 

The mass of the croc was estimated to be similar to a weight of three bags of Cement and was put at 150kg in estimation, because according to the wine tapper who is also into local hunting with Local Traps, he could not lift the animal and had to call the assistance of three other persons before they could lift the animal into a wheel barrow from the River back to his house later in the morning.

Other remarkable features of the Croc Kpakpando found out were; the Croc has no tongue which the Wine Tapper explained was the reason why it only swallows any prey that fell into the croc mouth, It has also five fingers and Four toes. 

When our correspondence asked the Hunter to estimate the age, the hunter revealed that a stone pebbles would be found in tummy which when counted, will reveal the true age of the Croc according to local superstition.

As the wine tapper said, some stone pebbles or rocks were found in the croc’s tummy and they were  fifty in number which the hunter concluded and estimated the age of the Crocodile to be 5O years but that’s superstitious guessing because according to Research and science, those stone pebbles and rocks helps the Croc in crushing anything the she swallows in her highly acidic tummy and which she vomits later to attracts more prey because of its rotten smell. 

Other contents of the highly muscular intestine were horn and a legs of an animal that most likely will be a goat or an antelope, feathers, hairs and a rat decomposing and digesting inside the highly acidic stomach.

The Crocodile was later skinned, and the white Meat freshed out, ready for final preparations for final consumption either as fresh peper soup or roasted dry meat, Kpakpando gathered that there was numerous mouth watering offers particularly from Native Doctors via telephone bidding for the skin of the Animal and but the Wine Tapper, said he won’t fall for what he described as temptation, maintaining he will preserve the skin in his private museum as evidence he has killed a Crocdile. 

As different persons were seen taking photographs of the sea Animal probably they were seeing for the first time in their life time apart from those courtesy of national Geographic channel, other persons were patiently waiting to have a feel and taste of the first batch of pepersoup bring prepared.
