Croc Update (Bird Trap Edition)

While Scooter the Wayward Crocodile might not be a great name for a rock band, it would be a pretty good name for a kids' book.

Elusive croc ends up in bird trap | NEWS.com.au: "SCOOTER the wayward crocodile has surprised scientists by turning up inside a cage used to trap wild birds in north Queensland.

The 1.8m long saltwater crocodile earned his name after eluding professional trappers.

But scientists from James Cook University were shocked to find him while checking whether birds at a wildlife sanctuary near Townsville had avian influenza."

Actually, there's a trend toward twee names for rock bands, so don't count it out.
