CROC DROP
Perhaps attempting an escape from the upcoming Russian winter,
a crocodile took a swan dive out the 12th-floor window of an apartment building in Sarov, a Russian nuclear research town.
Bystanders on the street below may have been astonished to see a 3.3 foot reptile plummeting toward Russian pavement. But authorites apparently saw nothing wrong with the picture - the exotic pet, which survived the fall with nothing more than an injured tooth, was eventually returned to its owner's apartment.
