Smugglin' crocodiles

Panic aboard flight as croc takes mid-air stroll
Agence France Presse (article excerpt) - July 31, 2009

A baby crocodile triggered panic among passengers on an EgyptAir flight from Abu Dhabi to Cairo on Friday when it took a leisurely stroll on board the aircraft, airport officials said.

Crew members managed to corner and capture the croc and handed it over to authorities when the plane landed in Cairo, where it was to be housed at the Giza zoo.

All of the passengers were questioned about the crocodile, but none admitted bringing it on board.

Abu Dhabi huh? Hope it didn't eat Nermal, flying on one of Garfield's crazy schemes.
