Briefs: Croc shock
PRETORIA: A South African reptile enthusiast investigating a call, found a metre-long Nile crocodile lazing in the pool of a Pretoria suburb, the Pretoria News daily reported on Wednesday.
“I received a phone call on Sunday night with this man claiming he had a crocodile in his swimming pool,” said reptile expert Pieter Brouwer.
“My first thought was that the man had been drinking but after getting there, even I was surprised to see it (the crocodile),” he told the paper.
Submerged at the bottom of the pool was the croc which, although not considered extremely large, could still deliver a nasty bite.
