A school in Wales recently made an unexpected find in its floorboards when a mummified crocodile was discovered. The ancient reptile was found under a school floor for many decades.
Students are still trying to figure out how to handle the ex-saltwater crocodile discovered during renovations.
Crocodiles aren’t even remotely native to Wales, so the question remains: how did it end up there?
“We aren’t exactly sure, to be honest,” headteacher Dr. Neil Pike said. “The story might be to do with the fact that during World War II, they wanted to keep things safe.”
“It might have just been the case of they had enough of it and thought what better than put a crocodile under the school floor and threaten the children to behave.”
Children behave better when there is an adult reptile nearby, according to imagination studies.
And, now that the secret is out, the saltwater crocodile’s body has been cleaned up and will be on display.
