Crocodile in English River? (moved from ATSNN)

Rumours have begun circulating about a mysterious animal lurking in the River Lea, near the proposed Olympic sites in London. Eyewitnesses saw an adult Canadian Goose dissapear instantly as if pulled from beneath by a large predator. Experts are not ruling out the crocodile theory but have put there money on a large Pike or Catfish.



Whilst it is possible that a crocodile could have been released from a private collector, I believe it is more than likely a large fish, such as described above. Especially considering that only recently, a catfish was caught in Spain that weighed 15 stones and was over 10ft long.

If a crocodile was resident in the river, one would have thought that it's activities would have been more noticable and certainly if experts where seriously considering the existence of such a creature, there would be more efforts to keep people away from the area in case of any danger.

Hopefully, more will come out soon about this as it is quite interesting.

If on this site we can talk about Nessie and Bigfoot, then why not crocodiles in an English River?

I like this story too, but I think the title could have been a bit more snappy.
