Police in southwest England are on the alert after a 1.83m crocodile was reported to be on the run.
Nick Gargan, the Chief Constable of Avon and Somerset Police, says the reptile has been spotted under a bridge in Bristol.
"One of our officers was flagged down by a bus driver today, claiming to have seen a 6ft crocodile under Coronation Bridge. We can't find it," he wrote on Twitter yesterday.
When asked by one Twitter user whether there was a crocodile on the loose, Mr Gargan replied: "it may mean precisely that, madam. No need to stay indoors - but you may want to think twice before you go water-skiing."
