Crocodile stolen from Norway aquarium
The stolen reptile, named "Taggen" (Spike), is a 70 centimetres (2.3 feet) long smooth-fronted caiman also known as Schneider's dwarf caiman (Paleosuchus Trigonatus).
…
It is normally found in much warmer habitats in South America and is one of the world's smallest species of crocodile.
Ekeli feared that the four-year-old would have poor chances of surviving outside its habitat in the aquarium, and said it would probably die from stress.
And just how the heck do you walk out of an aquarium with a 2.3 foot long croc? Do you wrap it up like a sub sandwich? Drop it nose first into a large umbrella? Roll it up in a copy of your daily newspaper? Use a special pocket in the lining of your trench coat? Slide it down your pant leg? (THAT’S a risky thought!)
(Stray thought: “Are you happy to see me or is that a caiman in your pocket?”
