But local residents plan to exhume Lolong’s bones and reassemble as part of their plan to set up a memorial for the crocodile, radio dzBB reported early Thursday.
Lolong’s skin will be stuffed and displayed in the “Lolong Museum” in the area.
Presently, local government officials are looking for a top-notch taxidermist who can create a life-size replica.
A replica made out of resin is also being planned, according to a separate report on “Saksi.”
On Wednesday, workers wrapped Lolong’s body in a fish net and placed the body in a one-meter-deep grave.
Many residents were sad at Lolong’s death last Sunday, since their Lolong-related businesses had to shut down for now.
They voiced hopes that once the Lolong Museum is set up, their businesses – ranging from souvenir shops to habal-habal rides – can be revived as well.
Other businesses included bakeries that made bread in Lolong’s image. — LBG, GMA News
