Gena is a 14-year-old crocodile that lives at an aquarium in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine. His caretakers have been scratching their heads, because, as one of the employees explains, “he swims much less than he used to.” Their questions were answered when Gena’s stomach started making an unusual noise. It turns out that a visitor to the aquarium had tried to take a picture of the croc when her cell phone fell and Gena swallowed it. Depending on where the phone is located, Gena might need surgery to remove it. Best wishes to the crocodile! Here’s hoping in the meantime that the ringtone is at least appealing, perhaps Elton John’s “Crocodile Rock?”
