Sarge, This Prisoner's Very Thick-Skinned

And His Manner Is Very Snappy

Fancy a night in jail, next to a crocodile? Police in Australia kept a saltwater crocodile in a cell overnight after it threatened local fishermen. Officers in Nhulunbuy, in the Northern Territory, say they had "no other option" after capturing the crocodile late in the evening. Senior Constable Wade Marshall said the croc - almost eight feet long - was put in an unused cell in the town's police station. In the morning, the male crocodile was taken to a nearby crocodile farm. Officers said, "We looked after it. It was kept on a wet blanket and hosed regularly with water."
