A 14-year-old crocodile is off his food and feeling down after swallowing a mobile phone dropped by a woman trying to photograph him at an aquarium in the Ukraine.
Workers at the aquarium initially didn't believe Rimma Golovko when she complained that the crocodile - Gena - had swallowed her phone.
"But then the phone started ringing and the sound was coming from inside our Gena's stomach and we understood she wasn't lying," said an employee.
The phone has been ringing inside the crocodile for some time and the reptile is refusing food and appears depressed and in pain.
He is going for an X-ray next week where surgery will be considered as a last resort. Ms Golovko is hoping her sim card can be retrieved.
