Crocodile loses two teeth after chomping on lawn mower

A crocodile at a zoo in Australia has lost two teeth after chomping on a lawn mower.

The five-metre reptile called Elvis snatched the gardening equipment when zookeepers were working on his enclosure.

Elvis snatched the lawn mower and dragged it into his pool to “drown” it. He then sat and guarded his prey for around an hour.

Keepers had to lure Elvis to the other end of the enclosure with meat to get him away from the dead lawn mower so they could retrieve it.

The behaviour is typical of saltwater crocodiles like Elvis, especially big, powerful males. Elvis

was caught in the wild after attacking boats. He has already eaten two girlfriends who were brought in to be his mates and keepers say he is particularly grumpy!

    Wow! I wonder how that happened. Cuz, Crocs are reptiles, a Spinosaurs's relative, so that shouldn't happen cuz of the extra power they get from they're relatives.
