Croc survives 12 story floor plunge
CNN Europe
MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) -- A crocodile survived a fall from the 12th floor of a Russian apartment block after making an escape bid through a window, emergency services said on Wednesday.
The crocodile lost one tooth in the fall but was otherwise unscathed, said a spokeswoman for the emergencies ministry in the Nizhny Novgorod region of central Russia.
"It seems the owner was not at home when the crocodile came out of the window," she said.
Diving out of the window has become a habit for the crocodile, called Khenar, with concerned neighbors saying it was the third time he had used that method to flee, Moskovsky Komsomolets daily reported.
Emergency services put the crocodile in a local aquarium to recover from his fall. Within a few hours his concerned owner came to pick him up and the crocodile was last seen lying on the back seat of his owner's car.

Re: Croc survives 12 story floor plunge
...wtf.
If it's the third time it's attempted to escape the house, obviously it doesn't wanna be there.. or the guy should close the bleedin' window! >< Some people're so dumb.. that poor animal, did they do X-rays on it to make sure it didn't damage anything internally??

Yeah if your pet escapes 3 times you don't deserve it.

Re: Croc survives 12 story floor plunge
Wow, that's... okay, first of all, amazing the croc has survived that like 3 times. But really wow cause the owner is a dumb rock.

Re: Croc survives 12 story floor plunge
Escaping is one thing.. but after taking a 12 story drop three times already I think it'd be time to either move to the ground floor, or take the animal away from an obviously negligent owner.

Re: Croc survives 12 story floor plunge
I had a 2-3 foot water monitor escape once and no creature has escaped since. We found the little monster and made some quick adjustments.

Re: Croc survives 12 story floor plunge
My constrictor escaped his enclosure twice, and twice it was because his enclosure had been opened and not secured properly. Both times it was someone other than myself, which definetely peeved me off.
I have a rather strict "no hands in the enclosure" rule in the house, unless they're MY hands, and I take them out to show people.

Re: Croc survives 12 story floor plunge
this stories insane.. Why does someone in russia have a croc? and how the ....does it get out a window 3 times. Sounds like someone needs to spend less on vodka and more on a cage. I think russian animal laws are pretty crazy anyway. does anyone remember the story of the guy that lived with a bear in a one room appartment? I bet money the croc just hangs out around the appartment.
Insane.
