Get out of the water and make it snappy!!!

DESPITE all efforts and all the crocodile experts who rushed to Crete, the famous crocodile “Sifis” hasn’t bitten so far. The slaughtered chicken in the traps got rotten and started to stink. “Sifis”, the crocodile of Crete, appears  to be a clever creature, after all.  The two huge traps were set in the waters of Potami Dam  but the crocodile of Rethymnon moved to other swallow waters and other tasty bites. Most probably ducks that are merrily swimming around.
  Now the reptile experts who have flocked to the island of Crete are taking into consideration a Plan B – to catch the crocodile with the help of anesthesia – or a Plan C – to catch the crocodile with a huge fishing net.
 Olivier Behra, the crocodile expert from Discovery Channel, arrived the first days of August.   Local media report that another crocodile expert, Ervin Moser from Austria is already in Crete. He is expected to assist the Cretans in the search and capture of Sifis, the crocodile,  the crocodile-experts world and the local community of Rethymnon is confused.
  A part of the locals say the crocodile should remain in the dam lake in a isolated area in order to function as attraction for tourist and boost the local economy. According to daily Ta NEA, local tourist operators have already scheduled “a stop at Potami Dam” in their daily excursion programs. The crocodile was probably released by a person who did not realise just how big these so call “pets” could become
