A croc can lie motionless for long, preserving heat and energy, especially by day and when it's not threatened or in a frency at the sight of food.
Your story has no substance nor do I believe you confronted the zoo keepers and they accepted.
I think it highly illogical that a replica crocodile would have been substituted in a zoological garden where people might stumble onto the truth.
Be it as read, then the zoo, no try at all as its even easy to catch a croc. The have lions right, so why not a live croc, even if na small one,

NAIRALAND has finally lost its credibility!!!

A moderator creating a thread based on half truth and pushed it to frontpage. What does it take lalastica to verify the information.

Like moderator like commentator. There is a rejoinder video still on the Twitter link showing the same Crocodile moving but nobody cared to even check.

It isn't Lalasticlala's fault to be fair. Someone ranted, he reported it, how is he responsible? The folks you should go after are the ones claiming it is indeed fake.

Tor. The zoo keepers fvcked up. They should have opened the door and allowed him to enter to investigate if they are real

The animal in the image is truly a crocodile. It's a short snout crocodile, and it's different from Nile crocodile that many is used to.

A man visited a Zoo in Abeokuta, Ogun State but was shocked after spotting fake crocodiles.

The Twitter user, @tweetmankind shared the video and narrated his experience.

He wrote:

This your link is not related to this post
You must be a worker in that zoo
You people should return the real Crocodile and remove that toy

The person that made the video is a Dullard , that's how crocodiles sunbath ..go there and you will know they are very alive

Sellfish:
He should have gone into the cage and checked it out properly ....if possible he should have put his arms inside the 'fake' crocodile's mouth to check if it's Eleganza plastic that's inside it or .......



Coward Sherlock Holmes

Mumu read his post

I won't buy this unless you market it well ... what makes you say that the croc is fake

ohh

Kurzgesagt:



Mumu read his post

Wise man Sir, please confirm how close his 'examination' of the crocodile must have been seeing that he was viewing it from outside an iron mesh

You should be sold to ritualists and the funds realized used to buy a baby crocodile for that zoo..because you clearly have the brainpower of a baby goat...and you are not even sensible enough to hide your imbecility

Wait,this dirty place is a zoo too? Yoruba people and dirtiness sef

argon500:
Zoo in Abeokuta?

Where is it located?

MKO Stadium Kuto Abeokuta enter from the back gate ,is in the Carwash closed to the gate .

They have probably eaten it.
Then every month they will budget money for feedding them

Please tell the man to get in the cage and take a picture standing next to the croc.

I just want to test something really quick

My brother, due diligence is required. That Twitter post and the rejoinder on the same thread happened yesterday. Our supermoderator rushed to post the part that will make news same way some irrelevant threads are pushed to frontpage. I suspect you also did not go through the link.

I did but there's one thing you should have noticed about the forum. It thrives on controversies and most users of forum are always in a hurry to comment, as most don't even know how to verify claims on their own. My first comment came before yours and I already pointed out the flaw of the OP (not Lala now).

He, however, pushed it to FP owing to the mixed reactions it would generate.

Them don boil the real ones chop nau

Papiikush:
Them talk say Nigeria Na zoo.

Even as a zoo we still failed in the zoo sector?

Chai... This country is cursed! (Ayiiiiiii)

did you even bother to confirm if the news is real or not? You're part of Nigeria's problem,with the manner of your thoughts.

We are on the same page sir.

ignorance is bliss

crocodiles can stay stationary for hours just to slow their metabolism

The zoo keepers should have allowed him to move closer to ascertain the claim...... by now he would have been Rip to him

SLAP44:
Search the houses of the zoo keepers, they must have killed the real Croc and stocked it in their freezer to be eating from it

you funny ooo

KINGwax007:
Na improvisation

Maybe they don't want to be spending money on food. That budget goes to one superior's bank account.

So you think if the zoo want to sue nairaland for publicizing this fake news, you think say anything concern the so called "tweeter user"? Nairaland by its T and C don automatically push am give lala for posting.
