I read with interest the recent BBC article published  on 4th February describing the story of a villager who  faced a giant crocodile and killed it as a revenge for  his pregnant wife.

The pregnant woman was dragged  down underwater from the river’s edge of Lake Kyoga  of Uganda by the huge crocodile and then completely  disappeared. The dead animal was taken to Makarere  University in Kampala, where it had a postmortem. It  was more than 4 meters long and weighed about 600  kilograms.
