Crocodile removed from Central PA storage facility: See ya in a while

Police in Columbia borough said they got a report of a crocodile left in a storage unit with other small animals, according to a news release.

"Due to inadequate living conditions, it was seized by officers to be turned over to the local reptile rescue experts. You can distinguish an alligator from a crocodile by paying attention to whether the animal sees you later or in a while," read the playful news release.
