    Exclamation Croc breaks loose on Australian flight



    "An Australian baggage handler had a nasty surprise when he opened the cargo door of a Qantas passenger flight to find a crocodile roaming loose in the hold, the airline said Monday.
    The reptile, reported to be a relatively small specimen, escaped its transport container during a flight from Brisbane to Melbourne last week, a Qantas spokesman told AFP.
    "The animal was quickly and safely secured when the aircraft arrived in Melbourne," the spokesman added.
    The crocodile was being transported as freight by cargo firm Australian Air Express. Qantas said it was investigating whether the animal had been in the right container and properly loaded.

    Baggage handler probably required a clean pair of trousers after the shock.

    Looking at the Daily Mail pictures, it doesnt look like it was in the securest of containers! Looks like it munched its way out, in fact.

    "But the crocodile is not the only reptile discovered on the rampage recently.
    In India, Air Force pilots have demanded their own squadron of snake charmers after two of their MiG-21 fighter jets were grounded by hitchhiking reptiles.

    So for those who were thinking about filling their luggage bags full of chocolate, for their next trip to the Philippines. Think again!
