The local authorities in Crete are to begin their efforts to locate and capture a crocodile which had been spotted in a river dam near Rethymno.

The crocodile, which has since become an internet sensation, will be transferred to a specialist center under the supervision of the Hellenic Center for Marine Research and the Natural History Museum.

In order to capture the crocodile, local authorities have already installed cameras and nets and will soon place large cages with bait in various areas along the river.

Rumors have suggested that a second crocodile may also be lurking about, with authorities warning people to avoid the river until the crocodile has been captured.
