Crocodile on the loose in Bristol…and he’s heading for the Uni!
A crocodile has been spotted running wild in the city…and he’s heading for Bristol Uni!
Snehal ShahA bus driver reported seeing a croc in the River Avon near Coronation Bridge in Bedminster yesterday. Local police (and the rest of the world) weren’t too bothered till a second sighting today got them dashing around Bristol in a city-wide hunt.
Reports reached national newspapers and the crocodile now has two Twitter accounts and all of Bristol on its tail.

Chris the Croc has exclusively told The Tab that he’s planning an appearance at Lizard Lounge to make some fishy friends. He’s also going to squeeze the ASS into his busy day touring the city, in hope of making it onto the Spotted page.

The headline-grabbing reptile is milking his fame: he’s asked Bristol Mayor George Ferguson to dinner and tried to talk to Stephen Fry.
Chris The Croc’s First Stop Is Bristol Uni
The Tab suspects, however, that these Tweets might be from an imposter.
The Tab guarantees automatic BNOC status for anyone who manages to get a selfie with the croc. (However, we can’t guarantee that you’ll be here to witness your fame.)
