Crocodile stolen from Aquarium

Unbeknownst to the workers of a Norwegian aquarium, a thief managed to walk out carrying a crocodile this past weekend. The employees were stunned. "I think whoever did this knew what they were doing," said Bergen aquarium director Kees Oscar Ekeli, suggesting the young crocodile was smuggled out in a bag during the busiest hours on Saturday. He 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. Taggen ( or Spike in English), is a long smooth-fronted caiman also known as Schneider's dwarf caiman. The reptile usually eats “a good mix of fish and meat" and can grow to be about 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) long. Authorities were quickly notified of the theft and a reward of 25,000 Norwegian crowns ($4,900) has been offered.
