Frenzy Over Crocodile Caught In Lagos Posh Estate It is rare to find wild animals roaming free in neighbourhoods, so Omole estate in Lagos was recently thrown into a state of excitement when a crocodile was caught in the gated neighbourhood. http://www.punchng.com/feature/frenzy-over-crocodile-caught-in-lagos-posh-estate/ 1 Like 1 Share |

However, Alli said he had been surprised by his newfound popularity status in the neighbourhood since the incident, adding that security personnel had to be more vigilant in future. “It surprised me that everyone has been talking about the incident. But I don’t think we did anything wrong by shooting the crocodile because it could have wounded somebody. I’m glad it didn’t attack anyone, so what we did was justified.” Wild tales Since the incident though, the neighbourhood has had its fair share of wild tales and gossips. Different accounts of the incident with varying sizes of the animal have been rendered from mouth to mouth in the estate that the facts have been blurred somewhere between the lines. A commercial motorcyclist in the estate, who identified himself as Musa, toldSaturday PUNCHthat the animal that was caught had even spoken in human voice. “It was very huge and almost as tall as this motorcycle. It spoke and demanded for human being to eat,” Musa insisted. http://www.punchng.com/feature/frenzy-over-crocodile-caught-in-lagos-posh-estate/

Very sad, why didn't they relocate the poor animal to an animal sanctuary to promote tourism. But those tiger clawed face oily soup eaters killed the poor crocodile to use in their soup. 9 Likes |

Mayor_of_Lagos: Why are they shooting the croc? Africans have no respect for animals and environment. Excuse me sir, but this "croc", was roaming about a residential area where kids play. If you had a gun and you did not shoot it, I would call you quite irresponsible. The alternative, of course, being to release it back to the bush it came out from? or as Freewilly says, a wild life sanctuary! LMFAO. Believe me, that "sanctuary" in Nigeria, would be a worse fate for such a magnificent creature. Live free or die hard! 7 Likes |

That is an African Dwarf Crocodile, whose diet consists primarily of snails, fish and rodents. These nocturnal creatures, which do not exceed about 6 feet in length when mature, are very timid, and would NEVER stalk a human being. As a kid, I learned to swim in a river that was home to many of these gentle and now critically endangered animals, which would roar now and then, but were never seen during the day. To get a Dwarf crocodile to bite, one would have to corner it and actually try to grab it, because, unlike its larger cousin the half-ton Nile Crocodile, this species will ALWAYS flee, if given that option. Obviously, the habitat this rapidly dwindling enclave of wildlife occupies in Lagos is being destroyed to make way for the sprawling development of human hordes, who, in their usual ignorance, become hysterical and blood-thirsty at the sight of any living beings besides other humans. Too bad there are no zoos in Nigeria, besides the human zoo, because the fate of all wildlife in the country will ultimately be to die at the hands of screeching mobs, and then to be eaten by greedy mouths. 23 Likes |

Idoma Likita: My President Is a Zoologist yet my Country Has The Worst Animal Protection Profile in the World! Funny enough it's technology that caused it. Before the introduction of guns many ethnic states in Nigeria had sort of attained a balance with surrounding wildlife such as lions, antelopes or snakes. The guns tipped the scales against the animals unfortunately. Save for the ingenious bush rat which has somehow thrived, it may surprise many that lions once roamed Nigeria's southern forests. That said, it's quite the pity they have to be killed to safeguard human lives. |
