Crocodile found in bath, man faces jail

Police have found a rare crocodile living in a man's bathtub.

The 3-year-old endangered Cuban crocodile is the most aggressive and intelligent of its kind, according to PA.

Owner Fabio Lazelli faces a jail term after neighbours called the police in Cremona, Italy.

"They demanded to be let into his flat and were astounded when they found a crocodile swimming around in the bathtub," a neighbour recounted.

Lazelli also faces a £70,000 fine for smuggling the reptile when it was an egg.

One wildlife expert said: "He's very lucky we got it when we did. These crocodiles are the most intelligent of their kind, fast, and aggressive. As it got older he would have been in real danger."
