9 August 2007: A Flying Crocodile

Residents in one Russian apartment block have to look out for an unusual danger - a flying crocodile.

The crocodile in question lives with his owner on the 12th Floor of the block, but would clearly prefer to be free. So when he gets the chance, he dives out of the window.

At his third escape attempt, this week, he lost a tooth but was otherwise unscathed. His owner collected him from the emergency services a few hours afterwards, and the crocodile was last seen heading home on the back seat of his owner's car.

His neighbours are now hoping the owner remembers to keep the window shut.
