BOLO for a 90-year-old, one-eyed, nearly toothless crocodile
Thieves in my little hometown of North Fort Myers once again broke into the Octagon animal showcase. They stole money, fed steaks to the lions, left a big bag of cheese by the lake, and let out an elderly crocodile. Sounds like a wild night.
Despite his missing teeth, “He could still do damage to you,” cautioned caretaker Silas Caldwell.
While alligators are more plentiful (my nephew had an altercation with one just the other day), Florida also has its own native crocodiles.
